In this TEDtalk, Lissa Rankin explores the spiritual and scientific implications
that the placebo effect has over us. She discusses how our thoughts
powerfully affect our physiology when we believe we can get well.
The placebo effect is concrete evidence that the body has its own innate self
repair system.
A study was conducted with 3500 participants who had all been diagnosed
with an incurable disease like cancer, HIV, various heart diseases, etc.
Through the placebo effect, everyone’s illness had all disappeared without
treatment.
Lissa goes on to talk about a specific case about a man named Mr. Wright,
who had been given drugs that he truly believed would cure his cancer.
Within days his tumors shrunk to half their size!
After a report was released stating the drug didn’t actually work, Mr. Wright’s
cancer came back. His doctor sneakily told him that he had a higher quality
version of the drug, and injected Mr. Wright with nothing more than water.
Again, his tumors went away because he believed they would.
In this TEDtalk, Lissa describes some of the countless occurrences with
measurable proof where people actually cure themselves. They grow back
hair, heal their ulcers, shrink tumors, and diminish all signs of sickness! Even
though this healing is initiated by the mind, the body really reacts.
