It's a rather profound form of self healing, documented time and time again by rational scientists. Yet largely ignored (professionally, I'm sure many of them think about it at deeper levels).
David Wilcock talks about placebos in his Source Field Investigations book (page 211-212):
In 2009, Wired magazine revealed that the placebo effect has also become substantially more powerful in a short time. This is causing big trouble for the major pharmaceutical manufacturers, as in order for their drugs to pass clinical trials, they have to work better than placebos. From 2001 to 2006, 20 percent more products were cut after less-demanding Phase II clinical trials, and another 11 percent failed the more extensive Phase III trials.
Eli Lilly had to abandon a new drug to treat schizophrenia when their volunteers showed a 200-percent increase in their response to placebos...This is causing serious financial pain to the pharmaceutical industry.
Reading that book as we speak :¬)
