You are the Placebo Book Discussion and Meditation Group, Chapter 5.

IS IT POSSIBLE to heal by thought alone - without drugs or surgery?

Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson's disease by believing in a placebo.

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.

"Is it possible to teach the principles of the placebo, and without relying on any external substance, produce the same internal changes in a person's health and ultimately in his or her life?"

"You are the Placebo is the instruction manual for how to produce miracles in your body, with your health, and in your life. It's simply magnificent. This may be the only prescription you'll ever require."
Christiane Northrup, M.D.

"We all have the potential for self-induced healing built into us."
Bernie Siegel, M.D.
