Default The power of hope and belief

This is a very interesting subject and analysis.
I only wish to add that I believe that we all possess natural healing powers which are empowered or diminished depending on our beliefs and perceptions.
I will not loose hope that I will find a kind of healing that makes life worth living!

Why not take the benefits that placebos have to offer?

Why not engineer placebos to be even more effective?
