This Placebo Is Making Me Sick!

A placebo is a sugar pill that is given to someone under the pretense that it is actually a pharmaceutical drug with a known effect on the body. Traditionally, studies have shown that on average 11% of people receive the same benefit from the placebo as from the drug itself. Most physicians believe the percent to be much higher, up to 30% in some instances.

This is a powerful testament to the mind’s effect on health and disease.

Here’s an even more fascinating fact. People getting a placebo can also create real side effects from the drug they believe they are taking.

You know what that means? That means that you could be taking a real medication and simply create the side effect from that medication. Real drug: real effect. Fake drug: real effect. Real drug: real side effect. Real drug: fake side effect. Wow, it mind-boggling!

Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid the drug altogether and simply focus on the mind component? That’s where I would choose to put my attention. Real body: real health. That sounds good. Healthy mind: healthy body. Even better.

Your thoughts are the ultimate controlling factor in your health. Use that knowledge in every way to help you find perfect health.

Enjoy, Rick
