Can you heal yourself with a thought?
There might be proof that the placebo effect is more than what it would seem.
When tests are done on drugs, the best way to determine if something works is to do a double blind study. This means that neither the receiver or the distributor of the drug knows if they get the real or the placebo version. By not letting the patient know if they are getting the drug and not letting the researcher know who has it, it helps reduce bias in the reaction and treatment during the study. The hopes are to reduce the chances of a placebo effect.
The placebo effect is defined as a phenomenon in which some people experience a benefit after the administration of an inactive substance or sham treatment.
In certain cases, a patient is prescribed a placebo (sugar pill) in order to treat something that might not need to be treated by actual drugs or to prevent a patient from overusing a prescribed drug.
Studies show that placebos can have an effect on conditions such as:
- Depression
- Pain
- Sleep disorders
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Menopause

A recent study found that the placebo effect works even more effectively than expected.
Placebo effects do not only occur in medical treatment – placebos can also work when psychological effects are attributed to them. Psychologists from the University of Basel reported these findings in the journal Scientific Reports, based on three studies with over 400 participants.
By telling a patient that something does something, it can affect the patient's mind to actually do the treatment stated. In the study, they played videos to patients and told them that the colors would calm them.
“green is calming because it activates early conditioned emotional schemata”
The results showed that the placebo had a positive effect on the participants’ well-being when it was prescribed together with a psychological narrative and in the context of a friendly relationship. The observed effect was strongest after administering the placebo but remained evident for up to one week.
This is hinting that maybe, the mind has a way of healing the body, if you can focus yourself on what it does. If a person can feel better by being told that watching a video of green dots will help them, what other methods can be done? Could a person be told that watching a certain color array would help speed up healing or cure an illness?
Then again, it could also be used for bad things. A person could be convinced that looking at a red hat will cause them danger.
Let the positive energy sing!

Yes i can heal myself with thought.
But you get into binds with rockeeperson medicine establishment because the body is not a simple machine.
I can cure cancer, but the person has to have released the emotions that created the cancer in the first place. If they don't stop stuffing and stuffing that emotion into that place in their body, nothing can cure the cancer. Even if "doctors" cut out the tumor, it will be back. But once the emotion has been released, almost anything will cure the cancer.
One of my theories of why CBD oil works so well is that it helps to repair the nervous system lining. (made of oil) Bad oils, of which there is an abundance in our world, make bad linings. Low fat diets really destroy that sheath. So, CBD gets in there and repairs it, and suddenly your body can communicate properly again and the cancer disappears.
Nice reply.
I haven't tried CBD oil on any of my ailments and I haven't researched it enough to know if it has been researched or if it just enhances the placebo effect.
If it works for you, it works for you, and that is all that matters.
I have seen people say that CBD oil is a miracle.
Your mileage will vary.
Now, tinctures, diluting something 10,000 times, has a far better affect than placebos... but, chemically you aren't getting anything... or so they say.
Chemical medicine is about to go the way of the DoDo.
