This might prove to be the most entertaining and life-enhancing experience of our lives
your mission, should you choose to accept it...
...is to explore the potential of the human mind by building on and beyond the scientifically proven health benefits of placebos, applying the potential power of placebo to other areas of human endeavour, such as the more aspirational and spiritual aspects of life.
'For hundreds of years, doctors have known that when a patient with a health condition expects their symptoms to improve, they often do improve.
Today, we know that patients who are given empty injections or pills that they believe contain medicine can experience improvement in a wide range of health conditions.
This kind of fake or empty medicine is often called a placebo, and the improvement that results is called the placebo effect.
The placebo effect is an example of how our expectations and beliefs can cause real change in our physical bodies. It’s a phenomenon that we don’t completely understand. But we can see it working in all kinds of ways, and all kinds of circumstances.'
