安慰剂效应 The power of your thoughts and The Placebo Effect

As we change our consciousness, we change the chemistry of our blood, which in turn is what controls our genetic behavior. So the issue is, can a positive thought have a positive influence on a body? And the answer is absolutely it can, for a very simple reason: When we have a positive thought, the secretions of the brain that go into the blood are all secretions that enhance the vitality of our cells and the maintenance of our body.

Now, you say, is that really true?Does believe actually influence this?Then I go, well, for nearly a 100 years, medicine has recognized the value of something called the placebo effect.The placebo effect is what?The concept of a positive outcome from some experience that controls the outcome.So for example: a person is suffering from an illness and their doctor says: listen, I have this brand new drug, the greatest, latest thing from the pharmaceutical industry... and it's even colored purple because it's so much more effective.And if you take this drug, it's going to resolve the issues you have in your health.

Well, if you take that drug based on what the doctor just said, in the belief the doctor just offered, you take the drug and then you get well, and you say, yes, all my goodness,the drug healed me... but later find out the drug was nothing more than a sugar pill.

Well, the significance is, then what healed you?The answer is: not the sugar pill.So what else is left?The belief in the sugar pillhealedyou.The positive belief that you hold when you take that drug, that's called the placebo effect.

And... interesting fact over one-third of all medical involvement, the positive outcome is not due to the medical process itself, but it’s due to the placebo effect where the patient believes whatever treatment they're getting is actually going to heal them.And this is profoundly significant because it's another way of understanding mastery over your biology.The biology of belief in this case, the biology of a positive thought is what will ultimately control your health.

The relevance, again, is very simple,is that a positive believe releases positive chemistry from the brain that goes through the body into the blood and this chemistry in the blood is what controls our health and our vitality and our happiness.

So, the issue is does positive belief actually work?Now a lot of people question that, but the truth is,hey, it's been a 100 years since the placebo effect has been discovered... and since then more and more research has revealed the emphasis of the nature of belief and the nature of a positive thought in creating a blood chemistry, which activates the genes for health and keeps us vital and happy.
