ImagePlacebo effect

It is generally understood that a placebo given during a drug trial or case study has a success rate of 33%.

 This means that 1/3 of the people involved in any trial are given sugar pills and their mind tricks the body into believing it has been given a medical drug to treat a specific condition. This can have a positive or negative effect on a person's situation. For example a person with depression and is given a successful placebo may start to express the side effects of the drug  such as diahhrea, dry mouth, or loss of appetite.

Most people only talk about the positive effects of a placebo: for example a patient that is complaining of many physical ailments but the doctors cannot find any reason may give a placebo to pacify the patient and see if the patient is creating the problems in their own mind. The catch is that a placebo can only be used with medical ailments that are not life threatening or could cause serious health risks to the people involved.

The mind is obviously powerful enough  to command the body to heal itself...or cause physical ailments.

How can we incorporate  knowledge to use the mind as a tool to better our lives?

It seems to me to break down to positive and negative thinking. The sugar pill is the catalyst that overwhelms the body with a positive or negative outcome. In this era of pharmacuetical ADVERTISING and sales explosion it seems that we are dependent on pills. The mind's power and misunderstood strength does not stand a chance to the convenience of solving our problems with a pill.

The  idea is to pay more attention to the MIND which is the key to solving most of our problems whether mental, physical, or any other...
