Klappentext

"Is it possible to heal by thought alone -- without drugs or surgery? The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect. In You are the placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depresson, crippliing arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson's disease by believing ina placebo. Similarly, Dr. Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse -- or after being misdiagnosed witha fatal illness. Belief can be so strong that pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies to try to exclude the power of the mind over the body when evaluating new drugs ... You are the placebo convines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect ... and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible."--
