It's called the 'placebo effect', but patients treated with placebos don't just feel better: they can heal their bodies by healing their thoughts. There is scientific evidence that we can self-heal illness and disease. Western-trained integrative physician Lissa Rankin, pored over hundreds of peer-reviewed studies from medical journals to find proof that the mind can heal the body. Here she shares some of these extraordinary cases, as well as stories of hope and spontaneous healing from her own practice.
