Quote from: John Kelley, Ph.D., deputy director of Harvard Medical School's Program in Placebo Studies & Therapeutic Encounter.
"Whenever you look at any randomized control trials, it’s surprising how similarly the side-effect profile for the placebo often mirrors the side-effect profile for the active [treatment]... It’s the power of the imagination. …. Just imagining something is happening is enough to activate those portions of the brain associated with that thought, or worry, or pain.”
