Life is One Big Placebo Effect

 
Did you know that science often dismisses the placebo effect as irrelevant in terms of research?  It is seen as just a ‘control’ in studies.

The power of thought plays a huge role in the process of expressing health and vitality.  When one thinks he will be healthy and/or recover from a dis-ease state, reality often follows this thought process. 

 
In studies where the participants realized that they were in the control group, and receiving just the placebo treatment, no measurable improvement is typically noted.  But, when the control group participants had no idea they were in the control group, and especially if they really thought they were in the treatment group, significant improvement is usually seen.
 
How can you ‘think’ yourself to be healthier?  One place you can start is by acknowledging the value of your life, and treat yourself and others with respect.  Recognizing the value of human life will help improve attitude and thought processes.  This will actually improve brain chemistry and function!
 
Having a positive attitude is not the answer to everything, but it plays a powerful role in the expression of life.  So smile, and give yourself a healthy dose of placebo effect today!
