When someone takes a placebo product (believing it is a drug with active ingredients), many people say: "You just have to believe in it, then it will work."
This is only partially true: The inside of the human being, the psyche, must be convinced that this medication works and form expectations. Because it touches the midpoint of the disease. With the goal of being cured by the drug.
So it doesn't really matter what I think, that is the SELF which is in my brain and is only part of my entire psyche, but what it expects with regard to the respective topic (i.e. what expectations the psyche has) that the brain then implements.
Previous experience (similarities) regarding effective medication and the authentic nature of the person who prescribes it are important.
The decisive factor is therefore a goal that shapes people via a center of the placebo effect - expectations - and thus makes them healthy. It is then a shift from the center of the disease to that of health.
This weakens or completely dissolves the midpoint of the illness in which one was.
Of course, this can only be done if the psyche has an essential part in the disease. The lower the less the placebo will be able to heal.
Placebo products will not work if they come from someone you don't trust.
This effect can also be seen in healers. In other words, people who can have a strong effect on others, in the medical-psychological sense.
These can create an expectation that is similar to the placebo.
