The power of the placebo effect - Emma Bryce

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/the-power-o...
The placebo effect is an unexplained phenomenon wherein drugs, treatments, and therapies that aren’t supposed to have an effect - and are often fake - miraculously make people feel better. What’s going on? Emma Bryce dives into the mystery of placebos’ bizarre benefits.
Lesson by Emma Bryce, animation by Globizco.

    belief is just a useful tool but not reality itself you are just playing with it. but beware the more identification that you have the more you're identifying yourself with the thought process then whatever thoughts that you create within yourself in past or still thinking which is negative and positive (depends on how you interpret) will create a material reality for you and I know some people even did cause themselves events such as suicide , accidents and cause their death.

    maybe it's because your brain understands that you are taking a pill to ease your ailments, so it doesn't release as many pain inducing chemicals. the problem still exists, but if you are feeling relief from being stressed out over your illness, your heart rate might go down after a while and your body might work more efficiently. pain is initially just an indication that something is wrong, so if your brain feels that you have already solved what is wrong, then it no longer needs to make you aware of the issue.

    I am actually glad someone acknowledges the placebo effect. It’s actually something I‘d consider to be really powerful or having the potential to be very powerful. In an experiment two groups of people with oxygen tanks were climbing up a mountain, but one was actually just plain air. Both groups had pretty similar results as time is concerned, as well as a comparable subjective sensation about having more oxygen to breath easing the climb.

    Knowing about the Placebo Effect was a fascinating and eye-opening exploration. The description of the placebo effect's capacity to cause actual, visible changes in the human body despite the fact that it is not a "legitimate" therapy really caught my attention. It's astonishing how important the mind-body link is for healing. This further demonstrates the fact that we are occasionally fooled by our own minds without even being aware of it. I hope the Placebo Effect could be applied to the treatment of those with serious illnesses like cancer.

    It's nocebo and that isn't an accurate explanation. Nocebo effects can modulate the outcome of a given therapy in a negative way, as do placebo effects in a positive way. Put simply, it is the phenomenon in which inert substances or mere suggestions of substances actually bring about negative effects in a patient or research participant. Like in a drug trial, the the side receiving the placebo can feel actual physical negative side affects from a drug they aren't actually taking.

    I think placebo effect is basically our subconscious mind in action. If our subconscious mind is convinced about something it will manifest it into reality.I like to think it as this way - If your subconscious mind accepts something we do things which are not entirely of conscious nature and as a result do the things we thought of. If you are interested in this topic please check out the book "The power of your subconscious mind "

    ​@@WWZenaDo I've just been given (put on) yet another 'trial' (long history of this, no consent, & have been made very ill with some and some were clearly placebos which I mostly reported but got fed up doing so) of an unknown med: the tablets are scary-blue = would I be less scared if they were a soft yellow?! The silly leaflet is nonsense - maybe, how do we know?! If placebo = to help us think they'll have an effect, if real then to confuse us on actual (known?)to the 'majority' who bother to feed-back, effects Are the COLOURS dangerous = might cause cancers, hyperactivity - and lots of effects we still don't know? It's funny: in France when I was young docs prescribed tablets of dyes which apparently cured urinary tract infections: one was blue, the second bright orange = dyes are KNOWN to have various effects then, at least in France, never ever been prescribed those in the UK! SO SCARED to try these (because of my history) but have crushed one (forgot to buy pill crusher) = told doc need melt-in-mouth (my throat injury = they get stuck as do some foods), they taste very bitter and made the inside of my mouth feel slightly numb briefly, I think (!); but other placebos tasted really bitter but did nothing. I already told the doc we say the tablets have done something which is silly when there are so many variables and internal/external factors we don't even KNOW them all, to consider. I HATE being experimented on (or supposedly 'consent' to experiment on myself) but when we're refused (for various known 'dangers' apparently or 'unobtainable') our favourite tried & tested drugs to try to control unbearable symptoms (insomnia & nightmares & over-active brain since brain injury for me) we apparently MUST expose ourselves to new & UNKNOWN dangers which might be very serious - HOW can we consent to this? We can't weigh up the risks to benefits at all = I feel like Alice in Wonderland (was it that one?) with the bottle 'Drink me' & cake 'Eat me' and wait to see what I THINK happens (if anything - real or imagined) and why (may well be unknown cause-effect/s), it's horrible. Although the placebo effect interests me a lot I don't want to carry on with various chemical (& other) experiments on my poor battered/injured brain & body - though of course we're all delighted when others in the past have done so to produce their myriad our fave tried-&-tested ones (& for all products & services not just tablets) and IF they've given feed-back (as all patients & docs should & this data must be collected easily & used properly) = double standards: BUT my recent medical+ history is very unusual, horrible & complicated - BUT maybe I'll help others who suffer the same or similar histories, abuses, injuries and symptoms, who knows? Maybe double-blind but somebody may know one day? I live alone, if I die or become very peculiar or strange please alert somebody... [I'm getting VERY scrambled: Too late in the day & I'm very tired = due to all the work I've done today, the time of day now, external/other factors or the tablet or ALL of these & more?]

Now it's 18.27 UK time & felt dryish mouth a bit (similar to at start from, I thought, the bitter taste) & as though my pupils had widened slightly (feels like, I can't see coz of light+) & a bit sort of 'stoned' & talking to the fridge-freezer, kitchen & kettle about this (yes) I even LAUGHED a bit which I haven't done for WAY too long = odd. He said to take them for 2 weeks but usually they say 'not every night' = addiction risk, even if 'only' psychological? Feel a little bit drunk or stoned, feels a bit like I've had a slight dose of recreational drug/s I took when young = odd = all in my mind & caused by too much typing, fatigue & the weird electrical+ stuff here (& maybe subliminal stuff on net/screen+?!) = or not?!
