Over 10,000 clinical studies prove the mind is more powerful than any
drug
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Sometimes the answers are right in front of our eyes. The "placebo
effect," long dismissed by doctors as illusion, turns out to be the most
powerful healing agent of all. It has proven to be effective against
heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and a long list of other
diseases, in nearly 30% of the cases (which is far more effective than
most drugs or surgical procedures). The power of the mind, it seems, it
far stronger than anything the pharmaceutical companies can offer.
So why don't doctors leverage the power of placebo? It's simple: because
they don't believe in it, not because it doesn't work. The
science simply cannot be denied: the placebo effect is powerful,
effective, and exhibits zero side effects. It should be the medicine of
choice. Naturally, you can't patent it and you can't market it, so
there's no economic reason for anybody in Western medicine to push it.
Besides, if Western doctors admitted that patients could heal
themselves, then they would lose a tremendous amount of power and
control over patients.
Look at it this way: really good doctors (and
there are many) readily state that they are only conduits of healing,
that patients must ultimately heal themselves. Bad doctors, on the other
hand, think they are God and that they alone control the healing
response in patients.
