The Placebo Effect

2017-05-01 at 2:44 PM UTCPosted in another thread but I want to know your opinions.
_____
If there is a placebo test for cancer treatment with 100 participants. 50/50 sugar pill/active drug.
49 placebos get healed and 51 druggers are healed. Drug gets approved. What the fuck healed the other 49?
Placebo. The most powerful thing in the known universe. The human mind. There has never been a single study where the placebo didn't at least heal one participant.
Placebo isn't anything negative. It is the physical manifestation of willpower and the reason you are such a STD riddled AIDS faggot, Doug. You are mentally weak. You could never achieve Placebo. -

"Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god. No one can beat me".
Every coach, fighter, etc. agree that fighting is "90%" mental. Placebo. -
2017-05-01 at 3:14 PM UTCwhat the fuck how did 51 people who took the drug get healed if there were only 100 participants and 50 got the drug? your test fails peer reviewThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

It is scientifically proven, faggot. You are just a weak fuck.
As I said in the other thread, let's give that guy cancer and see if he can cure himself.
Also please explain how I'm weak just for not believing in the same nonsense that you believe. I run a six minute mile, bench 260, and I've never been injured or seriously sick in my life. In fact if your bullshit theory held any water, I'd probably be a good example of it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You are a good example you fucking idiot. What the fuck? Who made you achieve this? A drug or your mind? -
2017-05-01 at 3:21 PM UTCWim Hof will not get cancer. That's his active decision and he works hard every day to achieve this. Mentally and physically.

Good genes probably has a lot to do with it. Some people are just built better than others. That Wim Hof guy probably just has some kind of rare genetic trait, or combination of traits, that makes him exceptional.
And I'm not arguing that strong mental fortitude isn't a powerful thing, but you're basically saying that with enough training and willpower, you can cure any deadly diseases 100% of the time. It's fucking stupid. -

Did you watch the documentary?
He gives courses and then climbs mountains in underwear with his students. It isn't him. He has proven it. -

I never said that. My "study" was just made up. You,on the other hand can not show me one study where the Placebo group didn't have some success.
Why does medicine not focus on that? Take a guess. -

So just to clarify, you're saying that even with extensive training, there are some people who will never be able to use the "placebo effect" to cure their own cancer? -

I have absolutely no idea but probably not. A midget can train as extensively as he wants. He will never dunk on a 10' rim.
It feels to me like most people are mental midgets. -

So basically what you're saying is that if you don't have an inborn ability to use this "placebo effect" style mental power, then no amount of training or willpower will allow you to do these amazing things you mentioned.
In other words, it's no different from any other physical genetic trait like those that allow Olympic athletes to compete on a level much different than you or me. It's not a choice, it's being lucky enough to be born with the right genes.
How do you even know that you personally have this inborn ability? Maybe you're just kidding yourself. -
