The placebo effect is a common phenomenon whereby the more strongly someone believes something is going to work, the more likely it is to actually start to work, even if it would otherwise have no effect. an interesting example is a study done where a selection of people were given a sugar pill which they were told would cure or heal certain problems they had, and the vast majority of them experienced real and measurable results proving the effect.
the exact science and reasoning behind this is still largely unknown, but one thing is certain and that is that the human mind can do incredible things, and once barriers of belief are broken down and genuine beliefs and expectations are induced in a person, the mind can do unbelievable and often seemingly impossible things to make those expectations become a reality.
