Chances are if you are struck with depression, aches & pain or even cancer you might not require medications or surgery. Instead of drugs often with their side effects, your doctor might just prescribe you “placebo”.Therer have been cases of cure for patients without medication or surgery – all well documented as revealed by this documentary for your viewing.

 

For example, you witness a woman suffering from deep depression mysteriously cured with placebo effect – a miraculous effect which seems to dwell deep within us.
