You've heard of
The Placebo Effect.
But are you aware of
The Nocebo Effect?
In which the human body has a negative physical reaction to a suggested harm.
This will make you vomit.
This will make you vomit.
This will make you vomit.
Your mind has The Power to Create its own physical reality.
This will make you vomit.
[VOMITING]
[CHEERING IN DISTANCE.]
Why do we yawn when we see others yawn?
Throughout history, there have been incidents.
The Dancing Plague of 1518
The Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic.
The Hindu Milk Miracle.
Psychologists call it a
Conversion Disorder
In that The Body converts a mental stress to a set of physical symptoms.
In this case, a tic, or spasm.
And, like any disorder, it can be contagious.
This kind of collective behavior is not limited to human beings.
What we know is that, in certain communities, under specific circumstances, an involuntary physical symptom developed by one person can become viral.
And spread, from person to person until the entire community is infected.
And so, my question to you is :
If The Idea of Illness can become Illness, what else about Our Reality is actually a Disorder?
