This TEDx talk by @mileha_s is one of my absolute favourites. With #Parkinsonsdisease being so susceptible to the #placeboeffect I wonder if somehow the mechanisms behind these #lifehacks may somehow relate to mechanisms of #environmental #placebo effect? ted.com/talks/mileha_s…

It's interesting that the IBS, anxiety and major depression have all responded well in open-label placebo studies. We're not sure what the link is, but it's an interesting connection. 💊💙

This is one of the things that motivates us. When you have learnt about the inequalities, you have a responsibility to do something about them.

Most UK #doctors don't wear #whitecoats anymore, because of #infectioncontrol. I'd love to know if this could influence the #placeboeffect and why other countries haven't followed suit? 🥼

Branded and generic #drugs are pretty much the same, so why do so many people spend so much more to get the branded version? 💊 - could it be the #placebo effect? yekize.org/branded-vs-gen…

In 2016, a study found that the amount of #medication needed by #patients with #Parkinsons disease could be reduced by 1/3 after using #conditioning and #placebos. Read more #amazing #stats and let us know what you'd like us to write about next! yekize.org/10-exciting-st…

I've been reading 'The Fever' by Sonia Shah (it's amazing!) and there's some really interesting sections about the cultural perception of conventional medicine. I included some of these in our latest article on the #placeboeffect & #globalhealth yekize.org/cultural-diffe…

Whatever your views on #Brexit, this is a valuable message: 'Peace, prosperity and friendship with ALL nations'. In a world as politically and culturally complex as ours, it can be difficult to include everybody, but that doesn't mean it's not something we should aim for.

So in ten minutes the evil genius who is one of our GP anaesthetists (with a PhD in diaphragmatic mechanics) increased our rural hospitals ventilator capacity from one to nine!!!

A virus is more than a biological organism. It's a social organism. It detects fissures in societies and fault lines between communities. This week, Univ. of Puget Sound historian Nancy Bristow shares the lessons we can take away from a century-old pandemic. n.pr/2QIXpMe
