The Placebo Effect is a powerful psychological phenomenon that can produce real changes in the body. It offers a very valid explanation for the thousands of anecdotes claiming miraculous healing after taking the bogus B12 supplements, as described in chapter 24 of my book, “The Enigma of Vitamin B12.”
Here is a fun and educational video with dancing pills and twirling brains to give you a look into this amazing mind trick that produces results almost as impressive as “real medicine”! Also explained is a mysterious ingredient with antimicrobial properties that may be in some of the supplements (alongside the cyanide poison, carcinogenic cobalt, and GMO bacteria).
What a cool video, illustrating this placebo effect. I have heard so many stories of improvement & most are anonymous and very fishy. Finding out what may also be in those pills is very interesting & like you said, the pill itself if not something to be taken with its poison! (BTW I bought your book last month and enjoyed every page, thank you so much for your hard work on this topic, so important with all the lies)
Thank you, i just bought the book! I served 1000s of folks vitamins over 6 decades and saw incredible positive changes in people's health and wellbeing...i knew they were made using industrial chemicals since 70s, so was clear to people they were NOT natural like fruit n veggies, yet i felt they were safer than the pharmaceutical drug side effects which most people were dealing with especially old folks who are often on 10 or more OTC and prescription drugs combinations. I know raw foodists have always spoken against synthetic vitamins since Anne Wigmore days, yet most people are a long way from transitioning to a raw food clean diet and often in regions where the local grocery is a food desert of packaged crapola. i found pharma vitamins were a bridge from pharma drugs to eventually a change in diet n becoming a conscious eater. I worked with the Orthomolecular Association who use high dose vitamin therapy for serious conditions with better/safer results than pharma drugs though i assume if these people had the ability to change to a cleaner, less junk food diet they may have had even better results, that said very few have the interest or discipline to eat clean food and why i believe choosing a vitamin even if only placebo is safer than ritalin, statins, anti depressants, etc. For the past 40 years the Orthomolecular Association have released a report 'No Deaths due to Vitamins, Herbs, Homeopathy'... have you ever done a deep dive into the Orthomolecular association? Personally i rarely take supps, as i am able to eat clean simple foods but when i travelled 24 7 over decades i found the benefits of taken some supps helped, even if it was all placebo... I am very grateful for the work you do!!
