You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Is it possible to heal by thought alone - without drugs or surgery? The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect. In You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson’s disease by believing in a placebo. Similarly, Dr. Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse - or after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness. Belief can be so strong that pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies to try to exclude the power of the mind over the body when evaluating new drugs.
Dr. Joe does more than simply explore the history and the physiology of the placebo effect. He asks the question: “Is it possible to teach the principles of the placebo, and without relying on any external substance, produce the same internal changes in a person’s health and ultimately in his or her life?” Then he shares scientific evidence (including color brain scans) of amazing healings from his workshops, in which participants learn his model of personal transformation, based on practical applications of the so-called placebo effect. The book ends with a “how-to” meditation for changing beliefs and perceptions that hold us back - the first step in healing.
You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect...and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible.

I purchased the book with some reservations. Whenever I have read a book written by a medical doctor I am usually overwhelmed with all the medical terms used and then followed by an in depth discussion as to what the terms mean, etc. I bought the book anyway as should you.
It would be my estimate that about 5% of the book contains medical terms I cannot pronounce nor that I will ever remember; nor do I have need to. But for the remaining 95% of the book, all I can say is WOW!
First a disclaimer. To some the contents of this book will be beyond what they have come to believe and frankly that is what part of the book describes. For others like me, I have always felt that the brain was more than capable of self-healing the body but until now, I do not know if anyone was sure as to how to tap into the ability. I was fascinated by Dr. Dispenza’s personal story about his bike and SUV accident and how he recovered. To put it into perspective and hopefully without getting too personal, I am experiencing severe pain in my left hip and thigh and the pain suddenly and magically appeared immediately following major back surgery; the pain is not near where the actual back repair was performed. The surgeon performing the surgery doesn’t seem to know what to do to relieve the pain. So I began researching pain that involved taking A Great Course (company name) course on Pain Management as well as reading several books and articles on pain and pain management. I felt I need to “manage” the pain because a cure didn’t seem like it was going to appear in my life. Would the contents of this book apply to me and relieve me of the pain I was experiencing? Still even more important to me, would this book validate my belief that the brain could actually heal the body if someone were to show me how to tap into that ability?
Only time will tell if my personal physical pain is relieved because I happened to read this book. If it does I will certainly revised my comments regarding the book.
As you read Dispenza’s book you quickly learn of stories of people who have used the power described in the book both consciously and subconsciously to change what the brain and the body has heretofore been trained to believe. Once you believe something to be true, it takes a great will power and attitude change to redefine that belief or like in my case it takes the need to find relief for my personal pain to find an alternative to what doctors have been unsuccessfully doing to relieve my pain. In my judgment I felt, “heck what have I got to lose by trying it?” I do feel, however, that I would have a “leg up” on others that read the book because of this review, but who do not as yet believe as I do that the brain can heal the body. Being able to open the brain to a new thought is critical as Dr. Dispenza points out before someone can actually believe in something new to the old ways of thinking. By “old ways of thinking” I mean yours and my old ways of thinking, not old ways meaning something old because of passing time.
There would be no point in telling you what is in the book because I could never do it justice. What I can tell you is that I truly believe that everyone could benefit from reading it and I do mean everyone. Why do I say this? Because as I read it, I envisioned real estate agents who were stuck in a place and who didn’t seem capable of making the changes they need to make to make a difference. So just about everyone could benefit whether they have a chronic illness or not. Still, if you are extremely skeptical, I doubt the book would be of much value even in the face of facts, logic and common sense.
After I was about half way through the book, I purchased a downloadable MP3 file created by Dr. Dispenza. Again, WOW! Not sure I have ever paid such close attention to any MP3 or CD like his Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself Book Meditations. Best $6.00 I have spent in some time if ever!
Who should read the book? Everyone!
Would I read it again? Sections of the book, absolutely!
Would I refer the books to my friends and family? Absolutely, already have
Would I buy the book as a gift? Probably but not if I thought the receiver of the book had a closed mind to such knowledge as it would then serve no purpose.
