Description

Doctors have known for centuries about placebo healing, and healers worldwide have long recognized that simple faith can cause healing miracles. In this inspired study of the unacknowledged power of the placebo, Lolette Kuby Ph.D. argues that the common denominator across all forms of treatments for illness is an innate self-healing capacity that medicine calls the placebo effect, and which religion knows as faith healing. The author goes on to show how you can consciously trigger the placebo effect, independent of external agencies, through direct faith in the inner source of all healing.

Kuby authored Faith and the Placebo Effect after her own experience of a healing of breast cancer through faith. Writing with the power of first-hand experience, Kuby raises a prophetic voice against the excesses of modern medicine, offering a radical and passionate polemic in favor of self reliance. The raw power of her brilliant and sustained argument will inspire your own quest for healing through the mind alone.
