PD & The Placebo effect in the Journal of Science
In this week's issue of the journal Science, there's stunning testimony from University of British Columbia researchers about how the mind can heal the body.
Their study suggests that the placebo effect in Parkinson's disease produces the same neurological outcome as active drugs used to treat Parkinson's: an increase in dopamine release by neurons impaired by the disease.
The placebo effect occurs when individuals take an inactive substance, rather than an active drug, and experience beneficial effects only because they believe they're receiving beneficial treatment.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
