Most people are always looking externally for answers to their problems. This is most apparent in the field of allopathic medicine. Not feeling well? Don't bother looking for the root cause of your dis-ease, take a pill. This externalization of health has resulted in the core scientific methodology of today's modern health care. A Harvard Medical School professor Ted Kaptchuk decided to test the pill theory by studying the Placebo Phenomenon. He conducted tests to observe the effects of human cognition on medicine by filling pills with cornstarch and giving them to patients who where suffering from various ailments. He also offered acupuncture with retractable shams that never pierced the skin as an alternative. He informed the subjects of the various negative side effects and then treated them with the two fakes. Half received pain-reducing pills; the others acupuncture treatments. The results were amazing. In both cases, people began to call in, saying they couldn't get out of bed. The pills were making them sluggish, the needles caused swelling and redness; some patients' pain ballooned to nightmarish levels. While contrarily, other patients reported real relief, and those who received acupuncture felt even better than those on the anti-pain pill. A clear demonstration of how human perception of reality affects the actual experience OF reality.

But researchers have found that placebo treatments—interventions with no active drug ingredients—can stimulate real physiological responses, from changes in heart rate and blood pressure to chemical activity in the brain, in cases involving pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and even some symptoms of Parkinson's.

When you talk about placebo, most people think of "mind over health" and cited cases of people recovering from a sugar water pill. What most people don't consider is the negative effects a powerful hypnotic repetitive suggestion might have on human society. What if you took this phenomenon to the extreme and use mass media to fabricate a viral pandemic? Will people start to get sick because they believe it to be true? What if you can trick a population into believing in a deadly pandemic by releasing a topical non-lethal bioweapon agent onto the population to cause adverse reactions aka flu symptoms and then let it follow it's natural course spreading by empathy and cognition. Could what we know as contagion actually be some natural empathic response to the disease of another triggering the body to go into some sympathetic detox mode and start cleansing itself? I'm not saying this is the cause of all disease, I am suggesting that the placebo phenomenon is very powerful and can't be ignored. In fact, it needs more attention as to how much of a contributing factor it is in widespread illness.

We must remember that Germs and Viruses are theories. Dr. Thomas Cowan argues they don't exist at all. That these theories have never been proven to be true. Dr. Andrew Kaufman still can not get anyone in academia or the medical establishment to prove SARS-CoV-2 actually exists. Is society being subverted and destroyed right before our eyes by some mysterious invisible particle that might not even exist? If you recall, our society was recently in the grips of terrorism - the invisible boogeyman hiding in a cave somewhere ready to attack entire nations. Today, we are paralyzed by a virus pandemic.

There have been many studies done on placebo and it's effects. The human response to information whether fake or not is absolutely REAL. It would seem obvious this is a phenomena that can be exploited. If the population can react as it did to the proven non-lethal threat the media calls COVID-19 where tens of millions of an uniformed public blindly allowed themselves to be injected with an experimental mRNA/DNA altering technology, and doctors have since come forward to clearly define the harmful side effects saturating the alt media with this new antithetical information, what level of placebo is in play here? Is this a double placebo once again? A Mass Formation Psychosis? Hypnotic induced hysteria? Have the decades of Hollywood pandemic and zombies movies provided the necessary predictive programming seeding the foundation for the behavior we see manifest today?

It would seem we have now arrived at a potentially engineered established bifurcation of the only available options - Red or Blue Pill.

How about NO pill.
