..I think the Placebo/Nocebo effcts are fascinating...that we can 'think' our physical symptoms to be improved or be perfectly physically healthy and 'think' ourselves to have symptoms of physical illness etc... I think that you just have to look at people like the Shaolin monks to know that the mind is a very powerful thing....how great would it be to have complete control over it...

This in complete opposition to Catweazle's troll post (in another thread) about how the Chinese eat dogs therefore you shouldn't trust them.

Thank you Ammi and the serious posters, I think the Placebo effect is very relevant. We have a lot to learn from The Shao'lin.
