You are the Placebo
You Are The Placebo
A fascinating tale of the power of your mind. Your mind can be your greatest ally, or, your worst enemy.
The first validated signs that we hold within us the lock and key to obtaining higher levels of health.
"A controlled trial of arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee. N Engl J Med. 2002"
This landmark study consisted of three groups of people with all groups of this study eliciting a similar level of knee osteoarthritis, knee pain, and function.
The participants were divided into three equal groups, the first group being a sham or placebo group whereby the members of this group laid down for surgery on the operating table, however, their knee was only subjected to an incision of the scalpel and simply sown back up. There was no 'treatment' or 'procedure' that would help the knee improve.
Placebo definition: a medicine or procedure prescribed for the psychological benefit to the patient rather than for any physiological effect.
The other two groups received typical arthroscopic surgeries, one type of surgery being 'debridement' and the other type of surgery a 'flush out'. Now, the most interesting part is what happened thereafter:
All three groups improved equally well regardless of whether they received a real surgical procedure or a sham/placebo. And this improvement was still there 6 years later!
The latest research from the realms of epigenetics and neuroscience indicates beyond doubt that it is our belief system that holds the key to our health and well-being and not our genetic predisposition. It is our environment that signals the gene, and not the other way round.
This is a great perspective to have about yourself, your thoughts and your life.
