How does a placebo work? And how does a nocebo?
Most people will have heard the term placebo before. It usually refers to a drug without an active ingredient and is often used in pharmaceutical
often used in studies by the pharmaceutical industry to prove the effectiveness of their products.
In practice, placebos are hardly ever used, because the ingredients of every drug have to be declared.
and thus everyone would notice the "swindle" immediately.
Yet other studies show the effectiveness of placebos very clearly. Many of these placebos show their effect, also including the expected side effects of the "drug".
of the "drug", even if no active ingredient is included.
Of course, this works best when both practitioner and patient believe in the effectiveness, but even when patients know
that it is a placebo it can work. The reason is that while the mind knows it, the subconscious is convinced of its efficacy.
Interestingly, in studies on vaccinations, only the actual vaccine is omitted from the "placebos", not the adjuvants, the additives such as mercury,
aluminum, etc., which serve as vaccine boosters. Thus one can divert from the vaccination damage caused by these additives,
because they also occur with "placebos" and therefore have nothing to do with the vaccination.
But what is actually with the "Nocebos"? "Placebo" means: "I help", "Nocebo" means "I harm".
This is when the person believes that something will harm them, then it does.
For example, once a truck driver accidentally locked himself in his refrigerated trailer, he had gone back in there in the evening and the door slammed shut.
The next morning he was found frozen to death. The refrigeration unit was not switched on and the temperature in the trailer was always above 10 degrees.
But the driver apparently didn't know it.
Very extreme? Can be
If you hypnotize someone and then put a normal-temperature coin on his hand, saying that it is very hot, he will not only feel the pain,
but also physical reactions such as reddening of the skin or even a blister.
Still extreme?
A person goes to the doctor and is diagnosed as having a lump, possibly malignant, and he would have 6 months to live. What happens to him?
Now, in the panic, what does the fear do to him? With his immune system? And what happens in 6 months if he believes the doctor?
Another person comes to the doctor, is told that his heart is not as strong as it used to be and is told: "But you won't grow old with it". What happens to him?
During an operation some negative statements about the patient's state of health are made. The conscious and awake mind is switched off by the anesthesia,
but the subconscious mind is still fully receptive. What happens to these statements that become the subconscious belief of the patient? How does he react?
The last three cases happen tens of times every day in every hospital. They are everyday occurrences because there is no awareness of them in almost everyone.
What could be the key to healing, if used, becomes a trap.
And now the question: "What is the effect of this global scaremongering?"
People running around with their eyes widened in panic behind their masks, barely able to breathe,
growing their own bacteria and fungus cultures in the masks,
and walk around in constant fear.
What happens to these people in their constant fear?
What does fear do to the immune system?
One can think about it.
