Does a placebo work if you know it’s a placebo? The surprising answer to that question is yes … a lot of the time.
There's a lot of 'evidence' in this book that, if it were true, would turn the world upside down. But, if only 10% of what is said is true, then it still opens up the incredible power of the mind and why kindness (even to yourself) has a huge impact.
Synopsis
When pharmaceutical scientist David R. Hamilton, PhD observed the results of tests on new drugs, he noticed that patients receiving the control placebo pills reported the same level of improvement as people receiving the actual drug. Seeing this result repeat itself time and time again, he became fascinated by the mind-body connection and started to research the work of scientists, mystics and healers working in this field. The result is this ground-breaking audiobook, in which Hamilton explains how the mind and emotions can influence the wellbeing of our body and even the structure of our DNA.
