Some interesting reading matter about how the body is capable of healing itself - how the placebo effect is more powerful that anybody first realised.
So powerful, in fact, that the drug companies are having trouble getting their medications approved, because the people who received the placebo, had just as good results as the people who received the real thing!
The mind and the human body are truly amazing.

Adoring Husband drove me to the Sunny Coast today so that I could spend three nights with the Chicklet family.
I spent the day playing with Chicklet who was very hyper and full of exciting playing ideas that sent her into overdrive.
The one time I got her to sit still on the bed with me to watch a dvd, she saw a GREAT idea and jumped out of bed urging me to follow her so that we could create our own igloo!
We played 'Three Little Pigs', 'Dragon and The Three Bears' (as opposed to Goldilocks and TTBs), we made a litter of dogs out of toilet rolls, we experimented with chalk dust to see what colours we could create and then massaged the dust into some pet dinosaurs and crocodiles, we played on the swing, we played hide and seek, we played tag (she is much faster now - I can't catch her and she CAN catch me!) and we did some drawing and cutting out.
Yes, you might say that I'm feeling a little worn out and after the 'TAG' fiasco, I may be feeling a little sore tomorrow!
We are starting with an early breakfast at The Bare-chested Chef's restaurant tomorrow morning and according to Chicklet, we will be having a 'sock party' some time during the day. Who knows what that will entail???
I'm off to catch up on some episodes of Grey's Anatomy and then fall into a deep slumber.
Nite all.
