    The placebo effect is the phenomenon of your body responding to a treatment even if it's not real. It happens so much, so strongly, and so often that it has to be factored in to any medical study.
    It speaks to the amazing ability of the brain to physiologically change the body in surprising ways.

    Thank you for the great videos, Joe. I always find them refreshing, informative, and entertaining. I have a strong belief in the placebo effect. When I was 8, and living in group homes, I had appendicitis. I was so scared and sad, that I kept it to myself. The pain was so bad I couldn't get out of my bunk. I knew that If I could feel exactly where the pain was, I could control it. I could feel the pain was in my stomach, so I imagined a box around my stomach, and the pain, and just, in my mind, pushed it away. I could still see the box beside me, but if I kept it there, the pain was gone. I went on this way for around 2 weeks until I collapsed at school one day, when it finally burst. I was told that my appendix had burst into my stomach through an ulcer I was suffering from, and I was lucky to be alive. So, to this day I have no appendix, noticeable internal scarring, and a strong belief in the mind's ability to control pain. Thank you, again, for the great videos, Joe.

    Corrected title: "The Brain's Incredible Healing Powers: Joe's Rant on 'Rise of Skywalker'.". Seriously, the placebo effect is a fascinating topic with powerful potential. There are well-designed studies, e.g., where giving a patient positive suggestions while under general anesthesia greatly decreased the need for post-op pain medication and the number of days spent in the hospital recovering. Hypnosis and "power of suggestion" are related. FEAR is a potent NEGATIVE "placebo effect", along with a person's complex BELIEFS. Very important topic!

    After working for years in medicine, before having a horrific rock climbing accident, I saw this many times. It is absolutely real.

When a neurologist came in and told them there was no reason they couldn’t walk…about a third of them leaned into their PT and within days were walking. So much healing is how hard the patient really wants to recover and be rid of the Dr and medicine….or how much they think they can’t live normally without it.

    Some years ago, I went to the ER several times with extreme back pain. The first time, they gave me an injection of Morphine, but it actually seemed to have no effect. *Do note that I didn't use nor abuse drugs, so there was no tolerance to opioids.* The second time, was something a bit stronger (sorry, don't recall the name), with minimal effect. The third time, they gave me Dilaudid and I finally had some relief (just about knocked me out, actually).
    They also decided to give me a CAT scan, as there was concern I was faking it to get the meds, but as it turned out, I wasn't faking it at all (I knew that). Due to an injury some 30 years prior, my lower back was in very nasty shape, with herniated discs, and a couple that had actually ruptured, along with major compression of the nerves leading to my legs.
    Things are better now, although I still can just barely walk. Comprehensive treatment has made a major difference for me, and gave me my life back.
    I do wonder, however, why the Morphine seemed to do nothing, when my expectation was I would get relief, especially considering that it wasn't a placebo.

      Nothing about "the force" makes sense. According to the RPG books, Force Lightning is a dark-side power, but Force Choke is a neutral power either side can use. So generating electricity requires you to be a child-murdering psychopath, but choking a person to death is a morally neutral act.
      Also, there are two versions of healing people in SW. The light-side has Force Healing, which charges a person with "light-side energy" to cure their wounds. The dark-side have their own version, a vampiric Steal Life power which heals the user while draining the target of life.

    30 to 40 years ago i already heard weird things like this:
    One ( or more - I don't know ) condemned to death agreed to be part of an experiment.
    They told him they would cut his jugular artery to execute him.
    They actually just used the back of the knife and then poured warm water over his neck.
    He died with all the symptoms of bleeding out.
    One/some guy(s) were trapped in a refrigerated truck.
    Died with all the symptoms ...
    The cooling unit was switched off.
    Would appreciate a Joe video about cases like these - I'm too stupid to research them.

    I love these videos, and this was very informative (and hilarious!), but I'm pretty disappointed that there was no mention at all of contemporary psychedelic therapies or of ancient entheogenic customs. The DMT in ayahuasca and the psilocybin in magic mushrooms, for instance, are still used in indigenous communities as medicines for ailments of the body as well as the "soul" or "self", after hundreds or thousands of years of tradition.
    The link between consciousness and healing is still such a mystery to science that we should be using (and talking about) all the available resources we have to see if there is something missing in the way we approach the psyche and its limits.The many organisations and universities around the globe studying and implementing psychedelic research and therapy are well beyond second-guessing about the benefits of the responsible expansion of consciousness and the subsequent rewiring of the brain due to its neuroplasticity.

From an evolutionary standpoint it just doesn't make any sense ... we _need_ our teeth right up until the moment of death so it doesn't make sense that this is some sort of evolutionary trait.

It still bothers me. I can't see any reason why we would stop growing our teeth. An adult body has everything it needs to produce a new tooth and we all _know_ it has the ability because we've _all_ re-grown teeth so ... I dunno, what is it that turns that mechanism off?

    Hi Joe, great video. Something important regarding the part of the video where you go through the concept of new drugs developed being less and less effective over the last 30yrs, is that the placebo they are compared with is not really just a placebo (or sugar pill) but actually a sugar pill given together with the current standard of care for the specific disease for which the new drug is being studied for. So basically every new drug needs to be better than the current standard of care (which is already pretty good) and this is why the treatment difference observed gets smaller and smaller. Only giving a sugar pill and nothing else would be considered unethical and so it cannot be done. Hope this helps :)
