precisely why mind control exists... to keep the human brain into reptilian/predatory/competitive/fear mode. First self existing Natural Law: Mentalism, was already known 4000+years ago.... not discovered by bronze age IQs.

the elites are much too afraid that we discover our real potential...

50 Percent of The Effectiveness of All Drugs Is Due To Placebo Effect (2014)

There's no doubt that many medications work in the short-term to suppress symptoms. In fact, that's all they do as they are incapable of addressing the underlying cause of disease. But even when a medication works, half of its impact on a patient is be due to one aspect of the placebo effect: the positive message that a doctor provides when prescribing the treatment, according to a new study.

Much of medicine is based on what is considered the strongest possible evidence: The placebo-controlled trial. The problem is that this foundation upon which much of medicine rests, has no standard.

The thinking behind relying on placebo-controlled trials is this: to be sure a treatment itself is effective, one needs to compare people whose only difference is whether or not they are taking the drug. Both groups should equally think they are on the drug -- to protect against effects of factors like expectation. So study participants are allocated "randomly" to the drug or a "placebo" -- a pill that might be mistaken for the active drug but is inert.

But, according toBeatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, this standard has a fundamental problem, "there isn't anything actually known to be physiologically inert. On top of that, there are no regulations about what goes into placebos, and what is in them is often determined by the makers of the drug being studied, who have a vested interest in the outcome. And there has been no expectation that placebos' composition be disclosed. At least then readers of the study might make up their own mind about whether the ingredients in the placebo might affect the interpretation of the study."

Researchers are just starting to appreciate the power that the mind can have over the body, says Tor Wager, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University.

"An emerging idea right now is that belief in a placebo taps into processes in your brain that produce physical results that really shape how your body responds to things," he says. "The brain has much more control over the body than we can voluntarily exert."

As an example of this, Wager points to the body’s response to perceived threats.

"Say it’s late at night and everything is quiet and then suddenly you see someone outside, near a window," he explains. "Your body starts to respond. Your pupils dilate. Your heart rate goes up. You start to sweat."

The belief that something threatening is out there produces a host of physical responses that you have little control over. If you were told to calm down and turn off these sensations, you couldn’t, Wager says. "But if the belief changes -- say, it turns out that it’s just your husband coming home -- the physical response changes."
A positive or negative effect of the placebo can lead to the misleading appearance of a negative or positive effect of the drug.

The placebo effect is a consciousness event, and more specifically an event in which consciousness and matter interact to change or transform a disease structure into a healing process or flow. At the level of reality at which this event takes place, it is not even possible to say that it is an interaction. This is a level at which consciousness-matter, or as it is more popularly known, mind-body, are not different but are a 'stuff', for want of a better word, which is not committed to either condition, yet is both.
