I would’ve thought belief was playing a role here... except that Sarah was adamant that this “new medicine” was going to be the answer to her problems.
She believes that nothing else she had tried worked, and she truly believed what her specialist told her about this ‘new drug’.
I’m wondering whether her belief in this instance was only on an intellectual level, and not embodied.

But i think that there are many cases where people say that belief cured them. Keep up and stay blessed.
Totally.
I ‘believe’ (😉) that one’s mindset plays a role in healing, particularly how well an intervention works or not. The work being done by Ted Kaptchuk and Harvard Medical School researching the effects of placebos is posing some very interesting questions for further investigation.
One such study they did for example suggests that placebos will work even when patients know it’s a placebo! 😱
