人体生理心理音频 第七篇(placebos)讲义P202
So, you see, basical (physical) illness can have psychological courses (causes). Now, we just have time to introduce another interesting example of interaction between the mind and the body --- placebos. Placebos, maybe you’ve heard them called sugar pills, are harmly (harmless) substances, not away (always) sugar, that are used routinely in (on) groups of six (sick) people in experiments. These experiments test the effectiveness of new drags. One group is given the new drag; the other group is given the (a) placebo, and the results for (are) measured.
As you might guess, some of the people who receive
the new drag get better; surprisingly, however, some of the placebo group also get better. Why? Well, it’s an interesting question, one which doctors can’t quite answer. Some of the group may have got (gotten) better on their own, without any treatment at all. But research has shown that the very active (act of) taking a mediation that you think would make you better often dose make you feel better. Have you ever taken an Aspelin (aspirin) and felt better in five minutes? Aspirin doesn’t work that faster, does it? Basically, if you believe you’ll get better, sometimes you do.
The history how doctors and healers have used the mind-body connection to cure people is long and interesting. But I see that is (it’s) time to close, so I’ll have to cover this in the next class. You’ll have to hold you questions of this topic till then. Before you go, I have some handouts for you, concerning the mid-term exams next week.
