The placebo effect has long enjoyed a notorious reputation. To attribute a cure to the placebo effect, was to consider that the illness was created in the mind of a hypochondriac. If a hypochondriac invented the illness, then a hypochondriac could invent the cure. Now, in scientific contradiction to these theories, studies carried out over recent decades reveal that the placebo effect can result in physiological changes in the human condition that are both observable and quantifiable. By means of a rigorous investigation this well researched program aims to shed fresh light on this powerful phenomenon that is associated with every medical act. See why major medical schools and institutions are exploring the exciting and formidable power for self-healing.
