Sports dept store in NYC. The guy promised it would help with back pain. At
the time of the test, I felt affected by it. However, after wearing it for a
few weeks I realized I really didn’t feel any different.

But I definitely believe it is all mental as well. Maybe the bracelet is just a reminder that it is all mental and that the true secret is just going out and doing it day in and day out.

The fact is, if you give someone a tablet that looks like aspirin, and you tell them it is aspirin, it will make their headache go away.

Medical doctors don’t like this reality because it makes them only barely removed from witchdoctors. Sports scientists, kinesiologists, et al. even moreso. They should be more open into meaning in healing, and not just ‘raw science’. The “spirits” removed by witchdoctors are no more or less quantifiable than the modern day equivalents of “stress” and “will power.”

If I take a placebo to lower my cholesterol, and my cholesterol is lowered, it’s still a cure. If my medical therapy that successfully removes my cancer is shown to be placebo, my cancer doesn’t suddenly return.
