So I became part of the research study to document these results. We spent several days in Berlin collecting data and then went on to France. It turned out that 176 out of 241 patients in the study had arthritic complaints. The most common category of relief from arthritis symptoms was 100 per cent improvement. There was nothing we knew of in medicine capable of giving this kind of result so quickly.
Positive expectation produces an effect which is quite measurable in the body.
If you take something that you think is going to help you, you'll definitely feel better. We call it the placebo effect. So when you are doing research, you want to make sure that the effect you see is not due to the placebo effect, but is really due to the intervention itself. Each expert had been given the knowledge of how to address only one kind of disorder. So one expert had the technique for musculoskelctal disorders, another for neurologic disorders, a third for gastrointestinal disorders, and so on.
