There are many, many studies that demonstrate the power of belief affecting the physical body.
Your Mind Affects Your Physical Body!
During the research for my Gamma Mindset book, one of the most amazing examples I came across of the power of belief to affect the physical body came from Dr Stewart Wolf.
Dr Wolf did a crafty study with pregnant women who were suffering from nausea and vomiting.
Two women; one who had been feeling sick and vomiting for two days and the other who was suffering from nausea and feeling depressed, were given medication, which Dr Wolf characterised as a ‘new, strong, very effective anti-sickness’ drug. Both womens symptoms disappeared!
What was this amazing new pharmaceutical?
It’s called Ipecac and check this, Ipecac is a very powerful drug used in hospital emergency rooms to induce vomiting!
But the strong belief that they were taking an amazing new anti-sickness drug was enough to totally reverse the chemical action of this drug on their bodies.
Think about this result for a moment.
The women’s belief in the doctor and expectation about the effect of the drug not only totally eradicated their symptoms – it completely reversed the chemical action of a purgative drug in their bodies. I don’t know about you, but for me this very convincing evidence that our minds are amazingly powerful!
