Placebo effect…

This is one of the most incredible lines of proof that the human body is a self healing unit.

Placebo effect: Also called the placebo response. A remarkable phenomenon in which a placebo — a fake treatment, an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution — can sometimes improve a patient’s condition simply because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful. Expectation to plays a potent role in the placebo effect. The more a person believes they are going to benefit from a treatment, the more likely it is that they will experience a benefit.

In my career, I have always felt that the idea of placebo effect is looked upon as more of a “yeah, sure you felt better from a sugar pill” than “Yowsa’s the body is healing because it’s telling itself it can”.

What an incredible concept that is overlooked by so many, everyday. Your body feels better simply because your brain tells it to. Well, hello there Quantum!!! Welcome back!

There is this incredible documentary on Netflix called “Heal”. I have watched it multiple times and continue to learn more every time I watch. It’s incredible. It’s real. It’s healing.

Much love and respect.
