soo, I’ve read some of the Comments. most of them basically say “we don’t know” or “it doesn’t work, its just coincidence”. Some study’s i’ve read (and studied) about say something different.
Your Brain works like a ship. You are the Captain (the conscious) and your “Placebo” and “Nocebo” (the subconscious) is the engine room. You say “30 degrees left” and the engine room just does it. it doesn’t ask why or how, it just does it. but it only does some things if it is “told” to, and you are telling it to get bettee if you think about getting better.

sorry if my English isn’t perfect sometimes.
open for discussion.
