You might have some people like kind of, uh, uh, hyperventilate Mm.
Cam HarderHOST
I know.
Cam HarderHOST
Placebo.
Cam HarderHOST
There's probably more to it than placebo.
Cam HarderHOST
But anyway, they're all gimmicks just
Ivette CardelliGUEST
Like we believe if we if you believe something hard enough, it can happen.
KyleHOST
Placebo is real.
Ivette CardelliGUEST
Oh, it's real for sure.
Ivette CardelliGUEST
That's why it's been studied so long.
AbsGUEST
And one must admit that if you're coming to this way of eating and living from a place of ill health, there is always going to be an element of placebo as well.
AbsGUEST
And we cannot deny that whatsoever.
AbsGUEST
Placebo is incredibly powerful.
Jackie FletcherHOST
Mm-hmm.
AbsGUEST
So to play devil's advocate against myself and yourself, some of that will be placebo.
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
Our mind and our body are...
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
so intricate and and we all have the innate ability to be able to perform and overcome and ensure that the light system helps with that but but really it wouldn't be able to help with that if we weren't so beautiful right we are so strong and and this just this just speaks to the mind it speaks to the body it speaks to the to the water within the body and it puts us in a better position to to perform it's it's really funny because you know what hasn't come up in this talk is is you know everybody most people ask you know what about the placebo effect you know and and you know we'll tell you that we have animals that that have that have been exposed to technology that have recovered from broken limbs in in you know record-breaking paces tumors that have been shrunk in in animals and and that blows the whole placebo effect out the window i mean that's what we can say but what i like to say is who placebo effect like what is that i mean at its root what is a placebo effect the placebo effect is nothing more than somebody that took a pill that thought that they were taking a pill that was going to cure them, and they were cured.
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
That's a placebo effect.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
How beautiful.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
It's just another form of a frequency, right? Right.
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
How miraculous is that? That this person believed something so profoundly that their body was cured of whatever was ailing them.
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
But they get thrown out of the research, right? They get thrown out of that pile because that's just placebo effect.
Jarrod BarakettGUEST
Well, wait a minute.
Kai DickensHOST
Phantom limb experiences are common after amputation, but what Rustin describes, feeling energy traveling through a leg that no longer exists in sync with a healer's hands, is harder to wave away.
Kai DickensHOST
And yet there's that part of me, and maybe you, that still thinks that could be placebo.
Kai DickensHOST
Placebo effect is real, and the brain is powerful.
Kai DickensHOST
So if we're really gonna test whether energy healing is happening, not imagined or suggested or psychological, the most airtight setup is a test with no mind involved.
Kai DickensHOST
What happens when a healer works not on a person, but directly on cells, cells that can't expect anything or hope for anything or believe anything? Because if there's measurable differences in an experiment like that, we are looking at something concrete, something beyond psychology, and this is why the next study matters so much.

Placebo by David Mason.
Barry HowarthVOICE_ACTOR
The object appeared in the middle of Main Way, about 50 feet from the statue of Vachel Lindsay, and at least 100 from anything else.
Barry HowarthVOICE_ACTOR
It was much too big and complicated to have been hidden anywhere, and it hadn't any wheels, tracks, wings, or other visible means of movement.
Aaron RandHOST
What is the nocebo effect?
Joe SchwarczGUEST
The nocebo effect is sort of the bad cousin of the placebo effect.
Joe SchwarczGUEST
Placebo comes from the Latin word to please.
Joe SchwarczGUEST
And, of course, the idea is that the mind can please the body just by having certain thoughts.
Joe SchwarczGUEST
And, you know, this is well established.
