Is it possible for someone to be cured simply by believing that they are being cured?
For example, let's say someone has a headache or the common cold. If that person wants to take some form of consumable medicine such as a pill to get rid of the illness, could he or she be cured, even if what the person consumed was of no higher medical significance than water, simply by being in a psychological state of mind (whether it'd be conscience or subconscience) that the medicine will do as "directed" and get rid of the illness.
(My question is with the assumption that there is a cure for the common cold).
LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE NEDDS ANY CLARIFYCATION ON WHAT I'M ASKING BECAUSE I'M NOT SO SURE I EXPLAINED IT SO CLEARLY!
