This was fascinating thank you Anton๐
Can we now easily identify patients malingerine ๐๐
To quote a โchildhood friendโ, Fascinating!
I don;t think what they did with mice best described as "Placebo". It is more complicated. And those ye olde doctors. When the medicine does nothing, the amount of dose is irrelevant.
Can we activate a placebo telling me I donโt want more food? Lol.
Could it be munks/gurus practicing meditation are actually just practicing activating their placebo/opioid pathway?
โThen they kinda, killed the mice.โ ๐
Love your content๐ฅฐ๐ง
I Wonder if the owner of the dog was the one who didnt know it was a placebo
All I can say is yeah !!
This man is brilliant; he has a great way of breaking things down and explaining themโฆHOWEVERโฆ. I just wish that he would smile, as at times he looks so sad like his cat ran away or his automobile was stolen or even he ran out of vodka (Russian slight)
"lickin' their balls" ๐๐
I've been somewhat exploiting this kind of concept in a way since the early 2000s on myself; while it's not a substitute for a lack of a particular resource, tinkering/toying with one's own neuroplasticity can be very beneficial. It is our own body & system after all, so provided the necessary resources are present or can be made, it's a matter of getting the cells to collectively make use of them & do what's necessary to achieve a given result.
A long time ago, people would get hypnotized, although they called it by many different names, and the healer would take the subject to their happy place, so that they ignored the pain of surgery. The placebo effect is the same thing. We really, really need to explore the power of our minds and what they can do.
great. thank god, i thought we needed to actually understand the darn thing.
I'm sure your insurance company won't abuse this knowledge in any way.
I'm going to go learn to be an herbalist now…
Ok, now how the fuck do we test if this method is better than placebo?!
really fascinating topic! thanx!
Believe it and you will see it.
Im sure its vastly more complicated than Im imagining (especially in a human vs a worm) but I really don't like the possibilities of being able to control action & function with some tweaks and a specific light frequency. The CIA has got to be at least curious.
Honey, we have been able to control and direct the placebo effect for thousands of years. Ever heard of hypnosis, drumming, witch doctors, shaman? "Science" didn't understand it, but real healers have had it down forever ๐คท
So depending on which 76 genders you might be, depends on the placebo…fascinating….or do you mean sex, and should state sex, so as not to be conflated with the now defunct word of gender..?
I wish i knew how to placebo myself, even actual medication like ibuprofen does very little when i get something severely painful like a migraine lol. This does make me wonder about alternative medicine and spiritual practices like healing crystals, though. The reason so many people seem convinced of their effectiveness is because it is effecting them, but its through placebo. On some level I sort of envy the ability to believe and channel that sort of effect, but because I'm aware of it I'm ironically unable to do so
All of those are neuro diseases, which are strongly affected by the mind and psychology of the patients, that's why placebo effects work so well against such diseases. Also the pain is basically an electrical wave that our brain receive and sends, so it's obvious that placebo works on it. It's well known that if you train your mind you can withstand expreme pain or even get pleasure from it. So did they discovered what was already known?
Ive watched several hundred of your videos and Anton, this is one of your best. Good job for giving us the means of understanding. Keep it up please.
Iโve seen people experience pain relief and accelerated healing with hypnosis, and no meds. The power of the mind.
How did you go from space info to brain info?
I think the nocebo effect happens most easily with people that have high physical empathy.
If a placebo works one out of 5 times,
Take 5.
The โplacebo effectโ is one name among many for a physical law. It is also known by other names, such as "Murphy's law" or "resonance law".
In truth, it is physics that every human being uses every second from birth until their last day on earth and especially beyond that (again, fully conscious of it). It is a โcosmicโ or โhermetic lawโ.
The law says: โThe more convinced you are of something, the more you attract it into your experienced reality.โ That's why pessimists are so successful with their Murphy's law. They continually create problems with their negative beliefs, which further reinforce their negative worldview. For example, women only attract violent men if they believe that all men are like that.
Each of us is the creator of our reality with our thoughts, feelings, evaluations and beliefs. Logically, optimists also have more luck in life.
Many philosophers in antiquity spoke about it and in secret lodges this knowledge has long been highly valued. So the people in power in the world know everything about it and that's why we are spammed with their negative news. On the one hand, they scare us and divide us and, on the other hand, they abuse our power to create for their perfidious worldview with which they can further exploit and control us, because we don't understand at all that we have the power to completely change the world in an instant , as long as we believe their brainwashing messages as the only possible reality.
Wake up, my beloved Earth family! You are all much more powerful than you can imagine. Don't allow yourself to be belittled, divided and exploited any longer. Take responsibility for your life instead of consuming their brainwashing every day.
You will all remember this very soon and then we will all create a beautiful world together again, where there will be no more wars, no defects, no more fear, but peace, freedom and prosperity for every person equally. ๐ ๐โ๏ธ
