I’ve just finished watching Dr Michael Mosley’s latest, “The Placebo Experiment” on BBC2. Absolutely fascinating, and if you didn’t see it, watch it on iPlayer. It’s a real eye-opener into the very real power of the brain to generate it’s own pain suppressants more powerful than the strongest pharmaceuticals.
Unbelievable results from placebos, which continue even after the patients are told they’re taking them.
I love Michael Mosley - everything he’s done has been riveting.

Ah, the power of the mind but if you feel better, or are cured, who cares?
The placebo effect is absolutely fascinating.
