Your mind is incredibly powerful. If you believe a treatment or drug is going to be beneficial for you, IT WILL BE. This is the placebo effect, most people have heard about this at some point or another.
But it you are like most people, you probably have not heard much about the evil cousin of the placebo effect, the nocebo effect.
This is when a harmless substance, or harmless treatment causes harm because you believe it will be harmful.
You mind is powerful.
This is a great video gives a great explanation of the nocebo effect in action.

A lot of people I work with are under the nocebo effect. They have certain beliefs around their body and their ability to heal which in turn causes their healing to be delayed.
In this episode you will learn exactly what the nocebo effect is, how it is likely making you sick or delaying healing, and you will learn exactly what to do to reduce its effect.
I also discuss something called Mass Psychogenic Illness. An interesting phenomenon whereby when people *think* they are going to get sick, the stress and anxiety can make them experience the physical symptoms. This is something interesting especially with the influence of the media around the current health situation.
I give some tips that I have used, to reduce the stress and anxiety around getting sick that can really help you.
