God

What good idea? Can you discuss the idea, or just post a mantra that makes you look mindless? What if I told you that god tells people to commit murder?

The Placebo Effect is an awesome example of the power of focusing the mind, the power of our mind’s ability to influence an outcome. Of course in the sacred halls of the church it’s not referred to with as mundane a word, but still in the scientific world it has been studied far beyond most other subjects in that it is the silent star of countless studies. The baseline, the control group, the folks that get the fake one so as to test the efficacy of the thing being studied. The silent partner in all kinds of scientifically based studies ends up proving that our minds have powers science has yet to grok.

Your mind can be a powerful healing tool when given the chance. The idea that your brain can convince your body a fake treatment is the real thing - the so-called placebo effect - and thus stimulate healing has been around for millennia. Now science has found that under the right circumstances, a placebo can be just as effective as traditional treatments

The placebo effect has been widely documented across various medical conditions, demonstrating its ability to influence both subjective and objective outcomes. Placebo responses can significantly improve symptoms in these different conditions, such as pain, Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Psychological mechanisms, particularly the power of patient expectations, appear to play a central role, with neurobiological evidence supporting the activation of dopamine, endogenous opioids, and endocannabinoids in response to placebo interventions.

I have trouble understanding how any of this is evidence of supernatural beings, gods, that need to be worshipped and have control or watch over us. Neither article mentions a god, so how do they support the existence of Pele or any other god? It's just posting a couple of articles you think help hide the guff you post.
