Placebo Effect Quotes

• Si el cerebro espera que un tratamiento funcione, envía sustancias químicas curativas al torrente sanguíneo, lo que lo facilita. Por eso el efecto placebo es tan poderoso para todo tipo de curación. Y lo contrario es igualmente cierto e igualmente poderoso: Cuando el cerebro espera que una terapia no funcione, no lo hace. Es el llamado efecto "nocebo".

• Con el tiempo se hizo evidente que nuestras emociones, actitudes y pensamientos afectan profundamente a nuestro cuerpo, a veces hasta el punto de ser de vida o muerte. Pronto se reconoció que los efectos mente-cuerpo tenían repercusiones tanto positivas como negativas en el organismo. Este reconocimiento se debió en gran medida a la investigación sobre el efecto placebo, es decir, los resultados beneficiosos de la sugestión, las expectativas y el pensamiento positivo.

• The placebo effect is one of the most fascinating things in the whole of medicine. It's not just about taking a pill, and your performance and your pain getting better. It's about our beliefs and expectations. It's about the cultural meaning of a treatment.

• I often felt better as soon as I swallowed my vitamin C, long before it had time to take effect. Medical researchers call it 'placebo effect'; I prefer to call it magic, for it occurs when something - a pill or a word - is imbued with power and meaning, and so it becomes effective. That is alchemy.

• In all technai or arts (medicine perhaps most of all), there is a self-exhilaration on the part of the practitioner (the intoxication of the ego with its own potency) which is infectious: the patient enjoys a placebo-effect which redounds to the ego of the "artist."

• Only massage therapists seemed to be informed about trigger points and referred pain, and only exceptional individuals among them (in my own experience at least) were treating trigger points effectively. What's more, the burgeoning variety of unproven modalities offered by massage therpaists gave the profession such an aura of flakiness that the elegant science of myofascial pain got unfairly confused with treatments whose results could easily be attributed to the placebo effect.
