In this segment, the speaker argues that belief can produce real, measurable physiological effects. Citing Joe Dispenza’s work, he recounts an anecdote about cancer patients who were split into two groups: one receiving an active cancer drug and the other a sugar placebo. Remarkably, about 30% of the placebo group experienced hair loss, a physiological change despite receiving no active treatment, illustrating the power of belief. The speaker extends this idea to language, claiming that "words are spells" and that what we say about ourselves shapes our experience, emphasizing that belief and spoken narratives can influence bodily outcomes.

And it might not work for everybody. And then the sense of belief, you must not think these things work. It's placebo effect is real. It's a measurable thing. Look at Joe Dispenza. I don't know if you've ever heard of him, but he has a book on the, you know, the placebo effect. And there was cancer patients who were receiving, or I think there were the cancer patients who were, some were receiving the cancer pill and some were receiving the sugar pill. But 30% of those in, or something like that, in the placebo group lost their hair, physiologically lost their hair. How do you lose your hair if you don't have it other than your sense of belief? That you are receiving it. And so your sense of belief is so powerful. It said, your words are spells. That's why they call it spelling. And I was like, yes, it literally is. So like, what, what you speak over yourself is what you see more of.
