| Summary: | This text gives an explanation of how the body's natural healing mechanisms work and how they can be triggered in non-chemical ways via the placebo effect. The placebo effect is central to the way medicine works, but is very little understood. In this book, the author shows how it works scientifically, and how thoughts and feelings work on our brain cells and affect our chemical make-up. |
