I can believe that, self-fulfilling prophecy. I mean, if you are sure it's going to happen, it probably will.

Well, sicoe17 wanted to talk about it, and I agree that it's an interesting topic. It isn't exactly related to the topic of riot grrrl. But it's a curious enough subject, that I think it deserves a thread. Besides, I'd like this to be a general open thread to discuss other similar bizarre effects out psyche has.

From what I know, an example of the placebo effect, would be feeding someone pills telling them it helps them, when in the end they are just sugar pills. From what I know, results have shown an improvement in whatever the patient was supposed to be treated for?

How could this be?

What do you think about it?

Any other bizarre things our brain does?



Posative thinking does help in the healing process. I think its great. haha There are so many different bizarre things our brains do. Like thinking youre in love ... tsunami Bomb!!!! I love them.

TB is great, isn't it? *sigh* Well, it's a chemical reaction... sadly.
