Placebo Effect !

Placebo Effect

By Lawyer Asad

Human mind is divided into an uneven portion. The conscious mind is consisting of the 15% of our mind and the subconscious mind is whooping 85% of our mind.
Conscious mind controls our motor fuctions and has a very short memory. Its rational and analyse matters before accepting those. On the other hand the subconscious mind is like a Super Computer. Storing data from even our pre-natal period. It can even record matters about which we are not conscious.
Under a hypnotic condition the subconscious mind can recall every memory registered on it. The unique phenomenon of the subconscious mind is that it can't logic or argue. It just carries out the programme which is fed into it.
The most important factor of the subconscious is that it can be re-programmed. A negative programming can be re-programmed to be a positive one.
Persons who're dealing with human mind know it.
William James, the father of American psychologist has rightfully declared that the best discovery of the 20th Century is that we can change our circumstances by the power of our mind.
Now back to the programming of the mind.
Subconscious mind is receptive of suggestions, good, bad, indifferent, every kind. When it receives a suggestion, it just carries it out without any reasoning, logic, analysis or judgment.
From our childhood we're programmed by our parents, neighbours, teachers, classmates, peers, colleagues and many other persons. Those programmings come to us in the form of criticisms, appraisals, a pat on the back. In gross those are either negative or positive. These are called suggestions. Our life is moulded by these suggestions.
A mother, disgusted by the conduct of her husband, may often remark to her son that he'd end up in the shoes of his father. The tender mind of the son receives these suggestions and mould his life accordingly.
But it is very hopeful that we can reprogramme our mind by feeding it with positive and constructive suggestions only in three weeks.
The suggestions we give to ourselves are called as auto-suggestions.
As our conscious mind is rational and originating from the left hemisphere of our brain it restricts the entry of suggestions which are seemingly irrational to it.
For example, if a person in a wretched financial conditions try to feed his mind with the thoughts of rich, abundance and wealth then his conscious mind would simply reject it as an irrational thought or lie.
Thats why we need to put ourselves in a trance where the subconscious mind becomes dormant to feed the subconscious mind. The best period for practising auto-suggestion is just before sleeping and after waking up from sleep but not leaving the bed.

Placebo effect:

Emil Coue, a French Chemist, had discovered this unique phenomenon accidentally. Once while he was in his store then one of his friends approached and asked for a drug which required prescription. But he had none. Naturally Emil Coue refused to serve him the medicine. But his friend was very perisistent and nagged for giving him the medicine as he was suffering from excruciating pain. Emil Coue had an idea. He told his friend that there's a new medicine which is as effective as the prescription drug but it doesn't require any prescription. His friend agreed to try it.
Emil Coue went inside the store packed some sugar pills and gave it to him. His friend returned after few days to report that the "new drug" acted like a magic and all his ailments are cured.
Emil Coue was stunned. Placebo was born.
He was invited by people to demonstrate the power of placebo. As the popularity started growing so it was not possible for him to appear personally to all his patients. So he invented a novel method by which any one became capable of giving him/her auto-suggestion.

"Every day and in every way things are getting better and better and I am prospering in all areas of my life."

It was the sentence which was to be recited to oneself as much time as possible. The interesting thing about this auto-suggestion is that one doesn't have to be believe in it or concentrate on it all the time while reciting. A mere mechanical recital would do the effect. And the change in circumstances would be noticable in a week or so.

Now doctors all around the world are using the placebo to cure people from ailments.
Here comes the functionality of our subconscious mind. Our mind receives the suggestions and act upon it. Even mock surgeries are being performed on patients to lead them believe that their ailments are cured by the surgery. Patients are getting cured.

To your perpetual health and success.

Sylva Method Cures Cancer!

Dr. O. Carl Simonton is an internationally acclaimed oncologist,
author, and speaker who is best known for his pioneering insights and research in the field of psychosocial oncology. After having earned his medical degree from the University of Oregon Medical School, he completed a three-year residency in radiation oncology. It was during this time that Dr. Simonton developed a model of emotional support for the treatment of cancer patients… an approach that introduced the
concept that one's state of mind could influence their ability to
survive cancer.

As chief of Radiation Therapy at Travis Air Force Base, Dr. Simonton
implemented this model. This was the first systematic emotional
intervention used in the treatment of cancer — a program that was
approved by the surgeon General's Office in 1973. While in private
practice, Dr. Simonton utilized his unique approach for the treatment
of cancer patients. A pilot study he conducted from 1974 to 1981,
demonstrated an increase in survival time and improvement in quality of life. His early research established the foundation for two widely acclaimed books which he co-authored, Getting Well Again and The
Healing Journey.

Dr. Simonton is the Director of The Simonton Cancer Center in
California, where retreat programs are offered for cancer patients and
their loved ones. In recent years, his model has received great
acceptance in Germany, Poland, Japan and Switzerland, where he
routinely conducts training sessions for health professionals.

In November, 1997, he was honored by the American Medical Association
for his film, Affirmations For Getting Well by Touchstar Productions.
This video, used in practically every hospital in the US is presently
being distributed to oncologists throughout our nation by SmithKline
Beecham, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies.

As an extension of his original work, Dr. Simonton is currently
developing programs to meet the needs of individuals at different
points in their lives. Pediatric and hospice-based models utilizing
his basic tenets are now being created.

With a strong interest in promoting the healing aspects of music, Dr.
Simonton is the co-recipient of a recently funded research grant
designed to test the psychoneuroimmunological effects of active drumming, and integral component of this cancer program. Through numerous presentations throughout the world, and countless interviews with leading media, Dr. Simonton continues his quest to help
individuals build upon their strengths by enabling them to travel
their healing journeys with hope and inspiration. His pioneering
approach has great potential to become the 4th tool in our
armamentarium against cancer along with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
