LatinaLista — TEDx speaker Dr. Lissa Rankin posed a question to her audience: “Can the mind really heal the body? And is there scientific proof to convince skeptical physicians like me?”
Dr. Rankin shares that the medical establishment has unwittingly been proving a question that many in their ranks have doubted its legitimacy. They’ve been proving it with a simple pill — the placebo.
Dr. Rankin set out on a mission to discover why some patients experience miraculous cures from seemingly incurable illnesses, while others remain sick even when they receive the best medical care. Her findings astonished her and set her on a new course in medicine.
She discovered that patients do have self-healing powers. As a result of her discovery, Dr. Rankin created the ‘Pink Medicine Revolution.” It’s a movement to not only help patients realize they have the power to heal themselves but works at encouraging the health care industry to help in the process rather than be resistant to it.
