Stephan: The other day I ran a report on the ability of a meditating mind to control cellular function down to the DNA level. Here is another study showing how incredibly nuanced this ability is, and how culturally mediated our thoughts are. The association of efficacy with price is an example of the process.
The capability to control our bodies down to the DNA level, is incredibly nuanced, as this placebo study reports.
A new study revealed that Parkinson’s placebo drugs that were believed to be more expensive than regular drugs are much more effective that regular placebo drugs. The study was published in the American Academy of Neurology online issue of Neurology.
Dr. Alberto Espay, study author, believes this has to do with the patients’ expectations that play a major role in the effectiveness of their own treatments. Placebo drugs have achieved great results in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and this new study sheds some more light on why that is.

We strongly support the concept of tuition-free public higher education, and are encouraged by renewed arguments in its favor. But we must also confront what has been done to the last several generations of students. They have been forced to take on debt that is crippling to them, to our economy and our society.
A student debt “jubilee” would reflect both the values upon which this nation was founded, and the economic principles which have sustained it through its greatest periods of growth and prosperity.
It is time for a truly transformative idea: Let’s Abolish All Student Loan Debt in America.
