have you ever wondered why certain unrelated things can make you feel good eventhough it is not a solution to your problem, AT ALL???
for examples....
why did some people gotten so well even after undergoing surgeries, just because the doctor said so???
why did the period pain gone away after using "medicated" pads?
why did ur niece stopped crying when her mother says that it's just a small scratch whereby the wound needs like 8 stitches???
the answer??
the placebo effect!!!
the placebo effect is actually a phenomenon where a patient's symptoms can be alleviated by an ineffective treatment..this is because ppl tends to feel more confident that the treatment will work or the wound is not that bad that they begin to see the silver lining...
where did i get this from actually, u wonder??
it's from the big bang theory!!!
Raj, an indian scientist who cannot speak to women unless he took some alcohol, showed an example of the placebo effect where he took a non-alcoholic beer that he thought was an alcoholic beer, and started flirting with the Sarah connor Chronicles actress, Summer sumthing2 without showing any of the selective mutism that he has....
funny isn't it how a tv show could teach us useful things, aight??
bah, until then..TTFN~~
I've heard about this before..but from the source I got, it says it's a cure in the mind..as in the mind power. belief is the powerful medicine...i mean, if you believe that you'll get better, then you will. heee...
