4. "Placebo Effect" or Proof that Self-Healing is Possible?

We've all heard the term "placebo effect" but how often do we pause to ask what it actually is? Placebo is effective about 35% of the time, and research has now shown that we can increase that significantly by tapping into the factors that increase self-healing. 

What we're exploring today:

• What is the placebo effect?
• History and research
• How the human body can produce endogenous opiods
• Shockingly effective placebo surgeries
• Components that improve placebo response 
• How to support your own self-healing
