The titles suggests that this is the second part of a certain podcast, but if you were to go through my blog, you would know that this is in fact the first blog I’ve written about the said podcast.

The answer to that mystery is quite simple, I didn’t write about the first one, which was yesterday. oops.

Anyway, I plan on writing the key takeaways from every podcast I host henceforth, that would I’d have to write a blog like this one every night, as I plan to host a pc every night.

So that would mean I’d have to post two times a day because of a new routine I’ve set for myself where I post something on my blog everyday. And I don’t want to make that ‘one post every day’ only about the podcast!

That leaves me with only one option, post the takeaways from the podcast at night and something for the blog sometime in the day. I’m gonna do both tonight. I have a poem saved on my phone and well I’m going to write about the pc in the next part of this bolg, so everything works out I guess.

The Palcebo vs The Nocebo

Hey guys, I’ve started a podcast an app called scenes, if you guys wish to listen to me speak after you’ve resisted the urge to throw your phone away after reading my blog, then you can join me here :

(I thought I’d leave a link to my podcast here, but I couldn’t find it in the app lol)

Anyway I’ll share the link when I figure out how to, if anyone actually wants to listen, that is.

The placebo is the process wherein a positive change comes out of being a part of a procedure or by making use of a said medical substances, which in fact, is not really medicinal by nature. But despite this fact, they succeed in bringing about a positive change, however, in reality all they do is make us believe that it happened.

They make us believe that somthing good happened and now everything would be fine. It just got us thinking about it in a way that didn’t seem dangerous anymore and then, the moment our mind relaxed, so did everything else.

Do you get what I mean? Now that we have that out of the way, what’s the Nocebo?

Well, it’s the exact opposite.

While the phrase “placebo” is derived from the Latin term “placere“, which literally means I will please.

Nocebo is actually derived from “nocere“, which, when translated means; I will harm.

The stark difference is off-putting and maybe even scary, but if you think about it, how would you ever overcome your fears if you never faced them up close? Think about it.

So to put it simply, while the placebo might have the power to save you, the noceba has the reverse power to kill you, or, might I dare reprharse it, You have the power to save you; as well as kill you.

Which will you do?

But worry not, as I will not leave you to fend for yourself in such an intense moment of the blog, like my government left me and my people in these grim times, where people are falling to the pandemic like dry leaves leaving branches in the face of a storm.

I, on the other hand, will leave you with an overview of a solution that I think will not just keep us safe from the Nocebo but also allow us to completely disregard it like the government does our cries.

That’s the last jibe I take at them, in this blog atleast.

So the placebo and the Nocebo are both just instruments that helps us unleash a power that already resides in our minds, am I right?

What if we just got rid of the said instruments? What if we could find within ourselves a way by which we can somehow access this power at our whim, then we could do…so much.

I haven’t come up with how I could do that, but I think it’s a journey that everyone would have to embark upon individually, one can guide from afar, maybe point the direction in which to walk. But the rest is upto to you. To me. To everyone.

I shall ponder over this some more and try and write about it again some time in the future.

I ended up writing about a few things I didn’t even speak about on the podcast haha.

The Director’s cut you could call it.
