Being Smart Often Make You Look Nuts

Scientific proof of self-healing. Please share to stick it to Big Pharma. "What a wonderful thing, the placebo effect - no side effects and works successfully at least a third of the time. Let's use it, not knock it!" The placebo effect is an energetic phenomenon that works when your mind matches the energy of the result you wish to achieve. The placebo effect has been scientifically proven to achieve the following:

Parkinson's disease: Placebo relief is associated with the release of dopamine in the brain.http://www.sciencemag.org/content/293/5532/1164

Depression: Placebos intended to reduce depression affect many of the same areas that are activated by antidepressants with the addition of the prefrontal cortex. - http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleID=175519

Caffeine: Placebo-caffeinated coffee causes an increase in bilateral dopamine release in the thalamus.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2004.03310.x/abstract;jsessionid=F13EA25D7BDA4E7D929A23E23D1D5456.d02t02

Glucose: The expectation of an intravenous injection of glucose increases the release of dopamine in the basal ganglia of men (but not women). -http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/syn.20541/abstract

Methylphenidate: The expectation of intravenous injection of this drug in inexperienced drug users increased the release of dopamine in the ventral cingulate gyrus and nucleus accumbens, with this effect being largest in those with no prior experience of the drug. -http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811906005039

Pain relief:http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/01/18/0956797611427919.abstract

In 1998, a meta-analysis of published antidepressant trials found that 75% of the effectiveness of anti-depressant medication is due to the placebo effect and other non-specific effects, rather than the treatment itself. -http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&uid=1999-11094-001

"In the majority of trials conducted by drug companies in recent decades, sugar pills have done as well as -- or better than -- antidepressants. Companies have had to conduct numerous trials to get two that show a positive result, which is the Food and Drug Administration's minimum for approval. The makers of Prozac had to run five trials to obtain two that were positive, and the makers of Paxil and Zoloft had to run even more"http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p58.htm

The placebo effect has also been proven to relieve headaches, allergies, fever, colds, acne, warts, nausea, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. The power of our minds are amazing. Align yourself energetically with the result you wish to have, and you will dramatically increase your chances of achieving it.

Spirit Science and Metaphysics

Spirituality

Spirituality is a shift in perspective, looking at the world through the eyes of unity, gratitude, and love. It is not merely switching from one ideology to another, or adopting a new belief structure.

The scorpion

"An old man saw a scorpion drowning and decided to pull it out from the water. He calmly extended his hand to reach the creature. When he did, the scorpion stung him. With the effect of the pain, the old man let go the creature and it fell back into the water. The man realizing that the scorpion was drowning again, got back and tried to rescue it but then again it stung him. He let go of it again.

A young boy standing by, approached the old man and said, "Excuse me Sir, you are going to hurt yourself trying to save the evil-vicious creature, why do you insist? Don't you realize that each time you try to help the scorpion, it stings you?"

The man replied, "The nature of the scorpion is to sting and mine is to help. My nature will not change in helping the scorpion."

So the man thought for a while and used a leaf from a nearby tree and pulled the scorpion out from the water and saved it's life.

MORAL LESSON:

Do not change your nature. If someone hurts you, just take precautions. Some pursue happiness while others create it. Let your conscience be your guide in whatever you do."
