A patient in a hospital cannot sleep even for many nights.The nurse and the junior doctor came and tried to put him to sleep by giving him some sleeping pills, but it didn't work.Upon receiving the news, the senior doctor came.He told the patient,your disease is very complicated.Ordinary medicine will not work.But we have a very good medicine brought from Singapore. You will be given that.
The patient was fed by bringing special medicine from Singapore from the office. The patient fell asleep shortly after.
In fact, the medicine prescribed by the doctor contained nothing but sugar.The patient is just mentally prepared to say that "this medicine will work for you".The patient believed the doctor.Because of belief ordinary glucose has done what high power medicine could not do.And this thing or this treatment method is called placebo effect.
Placebo is a type of medical procedure or medicine that does not actually have any medicinal properties;But even then it works on the patient and cures the disease.
That is to make the patient healthy by capitalizing on faith.
Placebo is a Latin word.This means - I shall Please, that is, the matter is associated with satisfaction.Probably the hypocritical saints-monks knew the use of placebo long ago.
Using placebo, they used to do business with confidence.Many time you hear that after drinking "pani pora" people get well.
This is actually a kind of placebo effect. He believes in the man from whom they take water, and it is through that faith that he is healed.It is known that any chemical or spiritual quality of drinking water can't heal people.
You must have heard that If a fish thorn sticks in a person's throat,if you blow it by reciting surah,the thorn goes inside the throat or if you hold the cat's foot,the thorn goes inside.These are all placebo games. The thing is, when he believes that my throat problems has been resolved,his brain sends a signal to his throat that the throat is no longer have any fishbone,so even If there are fish thorns inside the throat it will not be felt for a while.
And after a few days the fishbone will go away on its own. That method works for those who believe in it.
Let me tell you another story. One man went to the doctor with pain in his knee. He has been suffering from this pain for a long time.But the doctor examined him and found that there was no problem in his knee.But the man had a strong belief in his mind that one day as a child he fell off a bicycle,which may have injured his knee.The doctor heard the incident and told the patient that you have to have a small operation.The patient was taken to the operating room on the appointed day. Anesthesia was performed.His knee was cut and torn.The doctor smiled and said there was no problem.After that the man never felt pain in his knee again.
In fact, the doctor did nothing.Only by shaking the patient's faith he has increased his self-confidence.This process is called placebo method.And this kind of fake operation is called Sham Surgery or placebo surgery.Giving another practical example,a patient came to the doctor.He said that he had fallen asleep with his mouth open.
And then maybe some mosquitoes have entered through his mouth and they are now biting inside his stomach a lot, it hurts a lot.(The patient was rolling on the floor in pain).
The doctor then arranged for ''Shyam's surgery".Bring syringes, catheters, rubber tubes.He pretended to get the mosquito out of the patient's anus.He brought some mosquitoes from outside with Peon.Then he put the dead body of the mosquito in a water-filled bowl and said to the patient, "Look, I have got all the mosquitoes out of your stomach."The placebo effect worked on the patient.He says he has no more stomach aches.
However, not all diseases are treated with placebo.Placebos can temporarily cure neurobiological diseases.These diseases include pain (abdominal pain, headache, back pain, etc.), depression, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, etc.But cancer or complex surgery can never be completed with a placebo.
Some pharmaceutical companies design drugs with the placebo effect in mind. Studies have shown that more expensive painkillers work better than less expensive painkillers, larger tablets work better than smaller tablets, and colored tablets work better than white tablets. Pharmaceutical companies also make medicines in this way.
We can talk about Majid of Syed Waliullah's Lalsalu novel.He knew that there was no old tomb in the village, yet he shouted, “There is a tomb of "Modaccher Pir" in the corner of the village.In a dream, the "Modaccher pir" appeared to me and told me to bind his grave and build a shrine here ”.According to that so-called dream, Majid built a shrine business there.The people of the village began to believe him.People from far and wide used to come to Majid with their daily problems. Majid also used to pour water on the surface of the shrine, and by drinking that water, everyone's mild diseases would get better.(However, Majid could not cure the serious disease with "Panipora".For example, Majid's placebo Panipara could not bring children to infertile girls).
Thus, placebo works on the whole mind.
