Faith or Fiction

Faith and the Placebo Effect written by Lollete Kuby PhD states that faith healings are caused by the placebo effect. The placebo effect is when the person believes they are receiving treatment so they mentally feel they are getting better when no such treatment exists. The main point of the book is that the faith healing can be triggered by our own response. There is a range of different types of causes that trigger the placebo effect and one of them is faith. The placebo effect is sometimes more effective than conventional medicine. All though the placebo effect is our true healer we still give credit to that external force.
