Summary

This quote reflects the concept of placebo response, where a person's belief in a treatment or substance can result in perceived positive effects, even if it lacks any actual therapeutic properties. It suggests that individuals may experience subjective perceptions or changes in their body due to psychological factors, rather than a genuine physiological response. The quote emphasizes the idea that our minds can sometimes deceive us, influencing our perception of physical sensations.
