Placebo and the Power of your Subconscious Mind

What is a Placebo? It’s a demonstration, as clear as spring water, of the amazing power of your Subconscious Mind and that using your Mind Power there are very little limits to what you can do. Believe it or not your mind is wonderful.

A Placebo as it is usually used in medicine is nothing more than water, or sugar, given to patients by their doctor when their illness is of psychological reason. The wonderful thing is that Placebo works and the patient gets healed. Now, it is not that in this case your doctor is scamming you, is that he knows that your mind can create illnesses and so your mind can heal those illnesses.

My father who was a doctor told me about Placebo and how he routinely used them for patients. I mean this is a scientific proof that the power of your Subconscious Mind is amazing, isn’t it? If doctors use it then it works right? And actually there are drugs in your preferred pharmacy made mostly by sugar, or water. Need an example? Do you know about Asthma? Many times, if not most of the times, it has psychological roots such as you feel stressed and your breaths get shorter and you feel like having a weight on your lungs. For years Asthma remedies were made mostly by water and camphor, and they worked!

So, the Placebo is something more or less inert that you think it works and in effect it works because you believe in its effectiveness. It’s what you think of it that makes it to work. It’s your Mind Power in reality that makes you feel better and even heal yourself, not the sugar pill. Using the Placebo you are able to unleash the power of your Subconscious Mind because your Conscious Mind believes in it and its effects.

What we Hypnotherapists usually do with clients. Helping them to find a way to use both the Conscious and the Subconscious Mind to get a desired outcome. But our job sometimes it’s a bit more difficult as we are trained from our youth to take a pill or another remedy when being sick and so we are much more used to take something to feel better instead of using our Mind Power. But the principle remains the same. Our Mind can heal us.

Clearly Placebo has a drawback, if you know that it’s not a real medicine it doesn’t work because it’s magic is ruined. It’s what you think of it that makes a Placebo a real remedy for your illnesses, once you think it’s just sugar, well, it becomes just sugar. And it’s no more able to unleash the power of your Subconscious Mind to heal you.

It’s like discovering the tricks of a magician, the magic disappears.

Now, do you agree that Placebo is a clear and scientific demonstration of the power of your Subconscious Mind or not? If medicine routinely uses it then I think we don’t need other proofs of our Mind Power efficiency in healing us.

40 Day Master, your comment has been deleted as it's the exact copy of the first paragraph of a page on your site and I don't wanna risk being penalized for copied content. Also taking this article and publishing a carbon-copy of it even if with a link here without having beforehand the agreement of the original writer, that is me, is pretty rude and unpolite. It would be better if this doesn't happen anymore and it would be a good idea to delete also that page on your site.

If you're a writer with an ebook to sell surely you don't need my copyrighted content right?

That's correct, if you don't believe that something works then it becomes difficult. Medicines do work even if the client doesn't believe them but up to a certain point, then it's our mind business. Our mind has such an enormous influence on our body as demonstrated by the use of Placebo. Not sure human beings can grow limbs back as there is a human limit to what we can do but in theory it could be possible and future science will surely deal with it through technology. And as for records you're right again, there is always the human limit thing but the idea that a record can be broken makes a possibility more or less a certainty. Thanks for the kind comment.

I was watching an episode of the TV show Shark Tank and a guy was pitching a product similar to the Power Balance Bracelet. The Sharks wouldn't buy it because they claim the only reason it works is because of the placebo effect.

@Justin Mazza It might be it's only due to the Placebo effect, but what really matters is that it works. Placebo is not a scam, it's a psychological tool which has real, tangible effects otherwise doctors and pharmacists wouldn't use it. Clearly paying a lot of dollars for a psychological effect isn't so great, but this has a part in believing it works. If something does work, even if just for the Placebo effect and someone feels better or gets healed, is it really important if what he took was just fresh water? I think what matters is healing, the rest comes later. :)

Thanks for the insightful comment Justin. Very much appreciated.

interesting Facts

if we were to use our subconscious mind right i guess we wont use medicine at all

thank you :)

@2knowmyself Thanks to you Farouk, glad you like the article on Placebo. Maybe we cannot cure everything using the power of the Subconscious mind but surely we could reduce enormously the amount of medicines we need to take to feel better. And heal.

Have a great day!

This is quite interesting an I do believe we all have the power to heal ourselves. You describe the Placebo effect very well. It's must have an affect on all those "highly scientific" double-blind method!

@SavvyExaminer Thanks for your kind words Hillary, I'm happy I've been able to describe what is a Placebo well. And you're definitely right about the double-blind method. Placebo effect works both ways so unless it's something physical like hitting a finger with a hammer, which cannot be denied, if you don't believe it then it doesn't work. One of the reasons why people who have been told to have six months of life 95 percent of times die in five months. Whay we believe, deeply, becomes our reality. Generalizing a little bit obviously.

Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend you too! :)

Andrea, I am fascinated by the placebo effect as it's tangible proof of the power of the mind. I wonder why even if we know how powerful the mind is, most generally don't believe it, it's a if we are asleep to our great potential. Have printed this article to read again. :)

@Violetsun Marie thanks for commenting, as always very appreciated. You're right, our mind power is amazing, as demonstrated by placebo, yet we don't believe it. Seems like it's too good to be true. It's human nature probably. While on one side being careful and using common sense is always a must sometimes we have our feet too glued to the ground and can't simply see how powerful and amazing we can be.

Have a wonderful weekend. :)
