“Placebo effect is where the drug causes greater effect and thereby faith accentuates, prolongs and promulgates the strength of the drug. Faith in an object that is known creates a strength in the object's reaction in a more powerful manner, provided the object was intended to create positive in the first place. Yet if this faith is turned inward in a negative manner, it can hinder the effectiveness of the drug or creative power of the thing being used for the positive, this is called the nocebo effect.”

“What we focus on, what we believe, has a direct effect on the unfolding of actual events—small ones, yes, but large ones as well. Indeed, our sustained focus is the primary driver in bringing what are initially purely imagined scenarios (some on an expanded scale) to life.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Whether we like it or not, we’re walking placebo and nocebo generators, able to create health miracles or disasters (usually without even realizing we’re the ones doing so) practically in the blink of an eye.”
