In drug trials for example the placebo effect can go as high 50% - that is the belief brought about the effect not the drug. Interesting stuff.

Hi Abby Eagle,
Beliefs are powerful things. Problem though, is that, many don't take the time to (know what their beliefs are). Takes a tad of effort to do so. Did do a post about placebo's on my blog. Finally, even regular doctors are learning the power of the Placebo Effect.
Be Well
