The Placebo Effect

Today, I’d like to talk a little about the placebo effect. This message is particularly aimed at the skeptics out there; the number lessens every single day, but there are still a number of you.

It’s easy to be skeptical of a drastically new technology. There’s nothing wrong with this at all; I was certainly a skeptic myself in the beginning. In fact, being skeptical at first can be a good thing because that means you’re critically thinking about something, instead of simply believing what you’re told. I admire that in a person. If you don’t ever break free from the skepticism, however, and actually look into something that may help you, then you will continue to suffer needlessly simply from ignorance or a need to be stubborn. It’s important to gather information even in the midst of skepticism so that you can actually be informed and educated on the topic.

So, many skeptics liken the effects the patches have to the placebo effect. I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this. You see, those who are not informed about the Lifewave technology and do not understand how it works or have never tried it for themselves have no other explanation for it, so it has to be the placebo effect. This is a very common reaction to a new technology, in fact, it is part of the phases a person needs to go through when exposed to a new technology.

What I want to share today, though, is precisely why we know the Lifewave technology has absolutely nothing to do with the placebo effect and more to do with specific physiological measurements in the body, and that is research.

Lifewave wasn’t expecting anyone to simply believe the patches worked, they wanted to back up their products with science. This is the main reason we know the patches work. The Lifewave patches and products have over 30 studies done on them to date, many of which were performed by independent researchers, physicians, and scientists. These are not just any type of studies either. They’re double blind and placebo controlled. This is the most respected type of research study yet available in science. Double blind means that the researcher doesn’t know certain information that could lead to a bias, invalidating the results. A placebo controlled study is purposefully designed to account for a placebo effect that may occur.

What critics of this technology need to realize is the gravity of the results from these studies. These studies don’t lie. They’re not elementary school science experiments. They’re experiments done by experts in their fields. In addition to that, the results of these studies are nothing sort of phenomenal.

The lame excuse of the placebo effect to explain a poor understanding of this technology may have worked five years ago before these studies were completed, but it doesn’t hold water anymore.

For those out there who are interested in this technology, but still hesitant, I encourage you to read the studies for yourself. Lifewave makes all of them public on their website, and we have copies of them for your reference on our website as well. Click here to be taken directly to the studies.

In addition to research, we also have a number of Lifewave distributors using the patches on their animals, namely dogs and horses. It is commonly accepted that animals do not experience the placebo effect because they have no expectations. Animals do not know what the patches are supposed to do, yet they experience the drastic results with this technology as well. The number of stories people have of using the patches on animals is growing. One such pioneer in this arena is Dr. Lauren DeRock, who works with horses. She has a great website of information. Under her resources section, there is a page on the Lifewave technology and horses. Her website can be visited by clicking here.

So, what I ask of you today is to have an open mind. Clearly, we are still learning a great deal about our world. We don’t yet know everything, so to discredit a technology just because it’s different would be stupid, for lack of a better word.

I have to ask as well, if you suddenly experienced complete and rapid pain relief from a debilitating pain you’d experienced for years, would you care if it was the placebo effect? Or would you just be elated that the pain was gone?
