What if your expectations alone could shrink tumors, cause blisters, or even relieve chronic pain—without a single pill or surgery?

In this episode of Renegade Remission, Elanie explores the mysterious—and sometimes controversial—world of the placebo and nocebo effects. From a man whose cancer melted away with a fake drug, to patients who lost their hair after receiving nothing but saline, these stories reveal how profoundly belief shapes biology. And it’s not just stories—brain imaging and molecular studies show these effects are rooted in real, measurable neurochemistry.
By listening, you’ll discover:

How placebo can trigger healing and why nocebo can worsen disease.
Astonishing cases of sham surgeries, hypnosis, and suggestion that changed patients’ health outcomes.
The science behind how belief signals the brain to release chemicals that affect immunity, pain, and healing.

Press play to learn how expectation can profoundly shape recovery—and how to harness the positive side of this effect without falling into denial or false hope.
