Some open-minded physicians are “scientifically” trained, yet they look at their patients as people with more than just flesh and bones. This new way of looking suddenly opens up a better path to optimal health that can work gently yet powerfully. Dr Rankin uses her medical background to present irrefutable proof that in many cases, there is a better alternative to pharmaceuticals and surgery.

There is a previous article published here on similar lines that explores the power of our mind. Dr Lissa Rankin takes it further by suggesting that the healing influence of another (doctor or therapist) is needed for this powerful healing effect to work.
Can the mind really heal the body and if so is there any scientific evidence of to convince sceptical physicians like me? These are the questions that fuelled the last few years my research and when I discovered is that the scientific community medical establishment is improving for over 50 years that the mind can heal the body we call it the placebo effect and we’ve been trying outsmarted for decades. The placebo effect has a thorn in the side the medical establishment it’s an inconvenient truth they kept in between trying to bring new treatments new surgeries into the medical staff nurse mint so it’s a problem supposedly. I actually think this is really good news the placebo effect is excellent news because its concrete evidence that the body holds within it innate self repair mechanism that can make unthinkable thing happened to the body. So if you find this surprising if you have a hard time believing that the body can heal itself you need look no further than the spontaneous remission project a database compiled by the Institute of Noetic sciences of over 3500 case study in the medical literature of patients who have gotten better from seemingly incurable illnesses. You think there’s such a thing as an incurable illness I swear if you go look at
this database it it’ll blow your mind everything’s in there. Stage four cancer that disappeared without treatment, HIV positive patients the became HIV-negative heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, autoimmune diseases – gone. A great example have this in the case at in the medical literature is a case study from 1957 is mister Wright who had advanced lymphatic sarcoma so things weren’t going well for mister Wright time was really running out he had tumors the size oranges and have armpits his neck his chest his abdomen his liver and spleen were enlarged, in his lungs were filling up with two quarts of milky fluid with every day that had to be drained in order for him to breathe, but mister Wright wasn’t giving up hope he had heard about this wonder drug called Prediosen and he was begging is doctor commanding “gimme some that Prediosen and it’s all gonna be good”. Now unfortunately the credit years and was only available on a research protocol and the protocol required that the doctor be able to make an assessment that says that this guy has at least three months to live and his doctor doctor west just couldn’t do that. But mister Wright was tenacious and even get that they kept badgering doctor until finally his doctor was like okay fine I’ll give you the credit years then the dosed him up on a Friday not expecting that mister Wright would make it through the weekend but to his aftershock conductor West came in to do rounds on Monday mister Wright was up walking around the word and his tumors had shrunk a half their original five they had melted like snowball on a hot stove, and ten days after getting the Prediosin and they were gone. So mister I was up rockin and rollin like praising Prediosen the miracle drug he believed it to be. For two months until the initial reports came out about Prediosen – it said that it didn’t really look like Prediosen wasn’t working so well and mister Wright fell into a deep depression and his cancer came back so this time doctor West decided to get freaky and he’s he told his patient that you know that could be in that you got to the tainted version that really was not so good but I got us some ultra pure, highly concentrated Prediosen, this stuff’s got it going on. He then injected mister Wright with nothing but distilled water and once again the tumors disappeared, fluid in his lungs went away. Mister Wright was up rockin and rollin for another two months and then the American Medical Association blew it by publishing a nationwide study that proved definitively Prediosen is worthless. Two days later mister Wright after hearing this news died. Soon after that I came across another study and that medical literature that was the stuff of fairy tale three baby girls were born delivered by a midwife on Friday the 13th in the O’Keefe in a key swap near the Georgia Florida border and the midwife pronounced that these three babies born on such a fateful day we’re all hacks the first she said would die before her 16th birthday second before her 21st third before her 23rd birthday and as it turned out the first girl died and day before her 16th birthday the second died the day before her 21st birthday and a third girl who knew what had happened to the other two that when did that and the baby for 23rd birthday she showed up after all hyperventilating begging them to make sure she survived she wanted dying that night these two case studies are great examples from the medical literature have the perceiver fact and its opposite the note about fact so mister right when he got that distilled water and his tumors melted away that’s a great example have have the perceiver fact when you get a seemingly inner treatment and yet something’s happening physiologically in the body such that disease goes away the nose the perfect is the opposite for the three hecht girls are an example if the no sober fact when the mines belief that something bad is gonna happen in the body then comes to manifest for the scientific literature that medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine & maternal in the American Medical Association these scientific journals are fall have evidence that the perceiver fact in the nose the bar factor incredibly powerful we’ve known this since the nineteen fifties and we’ve seen countless case studies that show that in almost everything you study if you give people a fake treatment should repel saline injection or most effectively a fake surgery 18 yeah really 18 to 80 percent of the time people get better and it’s not just in their mind that I thought in the beginning like I know they’re just feeling better the thinking better but it’s not it’s actually in the physiology this is measurable you can actually see what happens to the body so for example patients getting pussy both were found to have authors that healed Colin that became left inflamed bronc I that dilated work but disappeared celeb looks different under the microscope provable happening in the body even though it initiated by mind so when you when you look at the is it that some the studies are just amazing I love the Rogaine study so you get a bunch a bald man you can perceive us they grow hair the opposite is also true so if you give people a placebo and you tell them it’s chemotherapy they vomit and they lose their hair so this is really happening in the body and a question I have is is a just the mines positive belief that making this happen not according to Harvard recheck researcher head cap checked according to him he thinks that that the most essential part is actually the nurturing care a health care provider more so even then the ines positive belief that from the state is actually say the doctor is the placebo or can be so 10 captured wanted to study that needed a great study looking at patients were getting pussy both for an illness for treatment of a nice and he told them you getting up with a bow there’s nothing inherent another ingredient nothing active they still got better most likely captured postulated because they felt ended nurtured the fight they were doing something he felt like somebody cared so maybe you can hear yourself a sort of a misnomer you know what the body can heal itself the body has these innate natural self repair mechanisms but the scientific data prove that you need than the tending nurturing care at a health care provider of some sort of a healer to facilitate that process it’s not an easy process to go through a loan so it makes a big difference if somebody else upholding that positive belief with you but the problem is while the doctor can be the pussy bow the doctor can also be the know CBO so what patients need for math as health care providers they need us to be forces a feeling not forces the fear or path from in them every time your doctor tells you you have an incurable illness you’re gonna have to take that that medication for the rest of your life or god forbid you get cancer and they say you got a five percent five-year survival rate it’s really no different then when that midwife told those three baby girl that they were hacked perform medical hack thing that so prevalent as doctors we think we’re being realistic you know we’re giving people have information we think they need to know but we actually can be harming them instead we need to be more like doctor west you know taken at the Stillwater really mister right path gonna do it for you but do we have to count on our doctors to do but you know do we have to get fake surgeries and fake drugs and wind up in clinical trials this is what led the next phase my research in my last text talk I talked about a new wellness model that I developed called the whole health care in and this came about as part of my research trying to find how often we harness this mines power that’s clearly evidenced by the placebo effect and the North Sea perfect can we do something without being in a clinical trial and I had Papa says was that in order to heal ourselves in order to be optimally healthy we need more than just a good diet air regular exercise program getting enough sleep taking a vitamin following your doctor’s orders those things are great and critical important but I also came to believe that we need healthy relationship happy professional life happy creative life healthy spiritual life a healthy sex life healthy financial life a healthy environment in Athens we need a healthy mind so I wanted to try to prove this and I went into the medical literature and the copious stayed at that I found proving that all those things are financial really blew my mind they I compile them all into my upcoming book mind over matter and scientific proof you can hear yourself but i wanna give me a few highlight about what at what this is all about for you can feed from the whole health parent that all these facets are built upon a foundation found that I call you’re in a pilot light and for me that’s essential Atlantic party that knows what’s true for you that’s willing to tell you the truth about maybe with out of alignment in your life with stones and your whole health care in my cow to balance an SEC I put the body physical health I’m atop the whole health care gets the most fragile the most precarious from the most easy to kind of on a balanced if other things in your life aren’t going to allow so when I found in the medical data is that relationship matter people have a strong social network have half the rate of heart disease compared to those who rely on me married people are twice as likely to live long lives than unmarried people in fact hearing your loneliness may be the most important measure a prevention you can act upon your body more so than quitting smoking are starting to exercise your spiritual life matters those who attend religious services live up to 14 years longer your professional life matters you really can work yourself to death in Japan they call it Karachi death by overworked and people who survive I am those the survivors have those who die of Karachi can actually apply for workman’s comp like benefit from Japan but it’s not just japan it’s actually happening even more and the United States we just don’t get benefits they’re so they founded in one study and they found the people fail to take their vacation actually a third more likely to get her pussy attitude really matters happy people live seven to 10 years longer than unhappy people and optimist are 77 percent less likely to get her to see and peppermint so it how does this happen what’s happening in them brain that that’s making the body change this was what a fascinating to me what I found is that the brain communicates with dollar fell from the body the hormones and neurotransmitters so for example if you have a negative thought belief or feeling in the brain your brain triggers this a threat something’s wrong if you feel lonely or pessimistic things about at
work here in a toxic relationship the middle if a threat threat threat and it turns on the halfpipe salameh’s the talks to go to a tear gland the communicates with the adrenal gland and adrenal gland start spitting out stress hormones like cortisol north and Afrin at an african it turns on wet water cannon at Harvard called the stress response the triggers the parasympathetic give me the sympathetic nervous system and put into that firefight mode you know which is adaptive its protective if you’re running away from an outline you now but in everyday life you’re supposed to have that quick stress response if there’s a threat and then slick tryna doesn’t happen in our regular lives these days fortunately there’s a counterbalancing relaxation response Herbert Benson et Hartford track and when this comes about the stress response turns off the parasympathetic nervous turns on and healing harm and flight oxy Cauthen dopamine nitric oxide endorsement still the body in dade every cell in the body when I found the most amazing about this is that there’s natural self repair mechanisms that we all have the only flip on ran the nervous system is relaxed for when you have instruct responses that the all those natural self repair mechanism get ripped a half the bodies too busy trying to fight or flee in order to heal itself so went when you think about this you have to start to wonder like how can I possibly start to change the balance in my own body so one study showed that on average we have more than 50 stress responses per day and if you’re lonely or depressed or pessimistic are unhappy at work or in a miserable relationship that members can be more than twice as many now this the relaxation response is what researchers think explains the perceiver fact so when year going to get supposedly maybe a new wonder drug you don’t know whether you getting the perceiver not it triggers that relaxation response that combination of two minds path to belief and the nurturing care health care provider lack for nervous system and in all these natural self repair mechanisms can come into play fortunately though you don’t have to be in a clinical trial to turn on you re lactation responses there a lot from simple pleasurable activities the turn on the relaxation response from the been proven in the medical literature so you can meditate you can express yourself creatively you can get him a five ish do yoga are tight she you can go out with your friends you can do work that your lab you can have fact you can laugh you can exercise you can play with animal so I ask you to consider the whole health care in your own life which stones in your whole health care might be out of balance each of these stones can be can be a factor for creating stress responses or relaxation responses how might you turn on more relaxing from responses in your body and most importantly what does your body need in order to hear web prescription do you need to write for yourself and are you gonna be brave enough to take action on the truth of what your inner pilot light I really knows I believe our system our health care system is badly broken and it’s largely because we’ve lost respect for the body’s ability to heal itself the medical establishment has gotten arrogant we’ve come to think that with all of our modern technology all that we’ve learned in the past century that we’ve mastered nature and that we find it repelling to think that maybe nature could be better than we are sometimes and yet fun can use remission from incurable diseases are proof that sometimes nature’s just better than we are it’s a narcissistic wound for physicians we don’t know what to do with that it makes us feel helpless and hopeless and useless but fortunately where needed the the the position and all the other health care providers are absolutely essential to this process we need to embrace of and patients need to change their out much fun as well it’s not just doctors we need patience to stop thinking that your body is not your business taking your power and handing it over to other health care providers your body is your business and your mind have tremendous power to communicate with your body for your body can heal itself so I I once had a dream in my dream I was standing there
looking at these mountainsides full have million for people that were standing shoulder to shoulder and they are all facing due north draft in all these tribal guard beautiful colors covering an outside like a quelle and there is a bright streaming light on their faith and everyone was facing the flight and that I think that when I think health care I think oliver standing up and facing a light for please stand with me for a moment it’s gonna take oliver just because things have gotten bad doesn’t mean they can’t get better I believe that just like there are no incurable first that no incurable illnesses there are no incurable system but it’s gonna take oliver meeting to open our hearts and open our minds and bring care back to health care for please hold hands with your fellow a neighbor and left affect the intention right here that things are going to be different from now on that we can start this grassroots effort it all starts with you even love that you wanna see and health care and I believe miracles can happen as we do this you really think act the tooth and dopamine you start to hear yourself and as we do so we can hear health care, thank you.
