Researchers speak of the placebo effect. For example, an anthropologist from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dan Moerman talks to his medicines, writes New Scientist. It's no secret that our attitude can change how the body will respond to treatment. Therefore, a belief in the effectiveness of therapy can really help. And it is not necessary to drink strong remedies, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Tests have shown that the placebo effect leads to the release of natural pain relievers, changes the signaling pattern of neurons, lowers blood pressure, activates the immune response. On the other hand, if a person believes that the medicine harms him, the effect will be reversed, until the death.

Ted Kaptchuk of the Harvard Medical School, along with colleagues, tested this on a group of people with irritable bowel syndrome. Patients received a pacifier tablet. Moreover, they were told about this, mentioning the effect of placebo. As a result, volunteers still said that they felt better after taking the pill. The result is very surprising researchers. According to them, it turns out that a person himself can be cured, convincing himself that, for example, ordinary water has curative power.
