The idea that "wrong thinking" can cause persistent illness is sheer stupidity.
"Wrong living" is a different matter, depending on what "wrong living" means.
If somebody drinks a bottle of vodka or smokes 100 cigarettes every day then they are bringing illness on themselves. Somebody who misuses drugs will make themselves ill.
Nutrition, hygiene, sleep, exercise, fresh air, avoiding infections and toxins have a huge effect on health. They are largely, but not always, within our control. So by our own choices we can do a lot to avoid illness. Unfortunately, most people are not made aware of what it is they have to do. Others wouldn't do what they should even if they did know.
