Placebo Effect

I can give you an inert substance that still heals you, just because you believe it will work, or want it to.

This is something we talk about, but rarely think about: I can give you an inert substance that still heals you, just because you believe it will work or want it to. Think about that a second. It shouldn't work medically/scientifically, but it does, and is well documented. That means mind over matter works in medicine: and we're not sure why.

There's also the counter to the placebo, but the nocebo -- which is an imagined toxin or negative effecting compound. That also has a measurable effect.
