I was reading ‘The science of getting well’ by Wallace Wattles. He tells us to avoid thoughts about illnesses and to keep a healthy picture of ourselves. Much in line with the law of attraction, like I described it in this post.

And then suddenly, it hit me. This was the placebo effect taken to the limit.

The placebo effect is something know to medical doctors for a long time. They have tried to eradicate this effect from their statistics. Now, all tests are carried out via ‘double blind’ procedures: when you get an experimental drug, you do not know what you get, but neither does the one that administers it to you.

But still, this mysterious placebo effect is there. It is a scientific reality, and in the current scientific paradigm, there is no good explanation as to why it exists at all. (Although some claim that it might not be a real effect, but only an imaginary one …)

Turning to self help literature, it is now called:’The law of attraction’. But I find that people have missed to make the connection between the two.

What would happen if the medical establishment would take the placebo effect to its limits? To cure people, without the adverse effect of many prescription drugs.
Like many people are trying to apply ‘The law of attraction’ in their very own lives?

I think it is at least worth a try … and we know it works for sure!

Be well. Be rich. Be great.
