The human body is a super-system that can recover on its own. The placebo effect is a phenomenon that perfectly confirms this fact!
In medical reference books there are repeated cases of miraculous recovery of patients. They just believed that they were recovering and got rid of a terrible disease! Lissa Rankin, author of Mind Over Medicine: A Revolutionary Healing Technique Without Drugs, discusses placebos scientifically.
Perhaps in the future we will not need medicines at all, and we can heal ourselves with the help of the power of the mind! Her research is very compelling.
3,500 people took part in the Rankin experiment. All subjects were terminally ill and suffered from cardiovascular problems, cancer, or HIV infection. After trying different treatments, they were willing to do anything to heal.
Although the patients had no real chances to save their lives … Lissa organized "treatment" of hopelessly ill patients with placebo pills. At the same time, the participants in the experiment were not initiated into the fact that the drugs were ineffective.
Imagine the surprise of the testers when the cases of recovery began! Most striking is the story of Mr. Wright. His malignant tumor was halved and he was able to heal with a placebo.
The documented cases of healing of people who have gone through Lissa Rankin's placebo practice clearly demonstrate that this effect works. There are other studies by scientists, no less impressive. For example, bald men who took a placebo noticed the appearance of hair on the usual bald head.
Antidepressant pacifiers have helped relieve depression in patients. Placebo shots have cured many migraine sufferers. There are many such examples, and they are all supported by facts.

A person's recovery is influenced not only by his good mood and belief that the prescribed medicine will work. The care of medical staff and loved ones is what keeps people desperate to recover in this world.
In order to stay healthy and overcome any disease, a person needs more than just diet, sports and medicine, says Lissa Rankin.
Placebo effect
1. Hope. The motive force that guides a person through life, hope for the best is a compass that tells him the right direction and will help him overcome any ailment. In other words, when a person has something to live for, he can work miracles.
2. Communication. Lonely people are more likely to get sick. Surrounding yourself with those for whom you are important, communicating with others, you strengthen your health. The positive emotions that your loved ones give you are the best medicine.
During illness, the decisive factor is the responsiveness, kindness, care of the medical staff. There are people who seem to glow from within and can heal with their very presence!
3. Spiritual life. Churchgoers live much longer than others! Meditation, various spiritual practices, self-improvement - what fills life with meaning and makes you move forward.
4. Work. Interesting, creative work helps to distract from thoughts about illness. When a person is carried away, he has no time to get sick, and he recovers on his own!
Relaxation is the best way to be healthy and happy. Just relax, put all negative thoughts aside, stop replaying stressful situations in your head in which you participated.
Sincerely, your psychologist, kinesiologist Olga Fedorovna Pokormyak
