Book Review:Mind Over Medicine by Lissa Rankin


  This is a very good book if you are new to the placebo effect. There is some stuff in the book that I have read before and some new stuff. I'm not a big believer in the placebo effect,though. I think people can discount a treatment or healing modality that someone uses and just say it was only the placebo effect. I've had people do this to me. Some alternative medicine does work,but some people like to say it's the placebo effect which discounts treatments that really work.

  Anyways, I believe that stress can be a big factor in developing illness. I know when I'm stressed, I'm more likely to catch colds. They rarely last long. Times when members of my family caught bad colds, I didn't catch it. I put the thought in my head that I am immune to the cold virus and will not catch the virus. It works good for me.

  I like the last chapter "6 Steps to Healing Yourself" as it can help in the healing process in whatever ails you. I like how the book puts emphasis on living a healthier lifestyle by being positive,eating healthy,etc.

Overall, this is a good book which has a lot of good info.  I recommend it highly.
