About this listen

Is it possible to heal by thought alone - without drugs or surgery? The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect. In You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson’s disease by believing in a placebo. Similarly, Dr. Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse - or after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness. Belief can be so strong that pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies to try to exclude the power of the mind over the body when evaluating new drugs.

Dr. Joe does more than simply explore the history and the physiology of the placebo effect. He asks the question: “Is it possible to teach the principles of the placebo, and without relying on any external substance, produce the same internal changes in a person’s health and ultimately in his or her life?” Then he shares scientific evidence (including color brain scans) of amazing healings from his workshops, in which participants learn his model of personal transformation, based on practical applications of the so-called placebo effect. The book ends with a “how-to” meditation for changing beliefs and perceptions that hold us back - the first step in healing.

You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect...and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Inspiring

A fascinating listen, combining case histories and science. Where medical research meets faith healing and how that is possible.

Outstanding!

As a Christian there are many ideas in this book that expound upon what the Bible already tells us, such as…

“God (‘Higher Intelligence’ in this audio), who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;” - Rom 4:7

“As a man thinks, so is he” - Prov 23:7

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests (‘Intention’ in the audio book) be made known to God” - Phil 4:6

… so I would say that science is just catching up.

However, for those of us that read the Bible and have not necessarily “applied” our God given power of creativity into our own lives, this audio book is an invaluable tool to assist in activating that such creativity.

Consider it a buffet; there is plenty of food in this book, take what you want and leave the what you don’t. But I’m pretty sure your plate will be running over with a variety of choice!

Enjoy!

Life changing

This is a book that can have life changing effects if put in to practice. I am only 2 days in to meditating and I can already feel a difference. I have always believed in the power of placebo but to have it backed by science is mind blowing. Enjoy your new life

Real game changer ,

I really enjoyed this book , I did get a bit lost in some sections , particularly in some of the scientific explanations, but this is no away with fairies book , it has good research to back it up and with practice I think you can change your own perceptions and improve your health and quality of life , but the work needs to be put in .

Life changing!,

Sometimes rather technical, but for the most part the most incredible and inspiring book I've ever read. I had no idea that we each had so much potential inside us, so much possibility for change and healing both physically and mentally. Change starts today!
