The Placebo Effect
About this episode
This episode explores the placebo effect and its implications for healing and belief.
We explore the mysterious ability of placebos to promote measurable physical healing, even when no medicine is present, and what this tells us about the power of belief and the body’s capacity for self-curative potential.
