According to the research quoted by Jo Marchant:
With altitude sickness, if somebody takes fake oxygen, there is a physical change in the body and the symptoms of the sickness are reduced.

According to the research quoted by Jo Marchant:
Patients can be healed by hypnosis, behavioral therapy (changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour) and the use of ‘virtual reality’.

Jo Marchant explains the ways we can rewire our brains and improve our health.
According to Jo marchant: “believing in an angry or judgmental God seems to make people more stressed”.
Inflamations can be removed by removing stress.
Jo Marchant refers to the health benefits of friendship, social connections and meditation.
One of the 4% is Jennie Woolmington who suffers from lupus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, osteoporosis and diabetes.

Research shows that in a typical town just a small handful of families cause most of the serious problems for the police, for the schools and for the health system.

Cure: A Journey Into the Science of Mind Over Body.
Recent research has shown that our brain structure is very flexible, and continually changing.
Practicing certain habits or behaviours brings real physical changes to the part of the brain associated with that activity.
For example, if you decide to learn to play the piano, you will develop more neural connections (and perhaps even more brain cells) in the parts of the brain associated with motor activity and musical ability.
If you meditate regularly for years, you will develop more ‘gray matter’ in the areas associated with attention, concentration and compassion.
So in that sense, rather than being completely controlled by our brains, we have control over them.
Research shows that the genetic structures we inherit from our parents don’t remain fixed throughout our lives.
Our genetic structures are altered by the life experiences we undergo, so that the genes we pass on to our children will be different to those we inherited.
Studies of twins show that, when twins are exposed to very different environments and life experiences, in their later life they show striking differences in their DNA.
It could be said that we have the capacity to control our genes, rather than them just controlling us.
