Cerebral Palsy Guidance (CPG)
"The
outreach teams at Cerebral Palsy Guidance (CPG) sent me some great
information on their website and cerebral palsy. I'm sharing this
information today in hopes it reaches somebody in need.
The CPG (cerebral palsy guidance) website covers cerebral palsy from all angles–from symptoms, causes, and treatment, to daily living information. Most importantly and unlike some other resources, the information at cerebralpalsyguidance.com is reviewed and edited by pediatric doctors and nurses (as well as HONcode certified as trustworthy health information)." If you have questions, please contact CPG directly. - "

Flu Shot Optimizer
Flu Shot Optimizer - A Guided Meditation for use Before, During, and/or After Your Flu Shot.
This Video does NOT replace getting a Flu Shot!
The “Flu Shot Optimizer” is a tool for Relaxation and Positive Suggestions.
• Research has shown that being in a “Good Mood” might Optimize the Effectiveness of your Flu Shot.
• In addition, many studies show Relaxation and Positive Suggestions might Improve the Overall Efficiency of your Immune System.
*******************************************************************************************

Ongoing Healing Indicator
Using a “Ongoing Healing Indicator” might calm them down and relax.
In use, the Patient is instructed to watch the flickering light and relax.
The “Ongoing Healing Indicator” first appeared in the "Healing Prayer Focalizer"
*******************************************************
I made mine from a ordinary battery operated Tea Light - and applied a homemade "Ongoing Healing Indicator" sticker.
********************************************************
In use, the healthcare worker could say things to promote Relaxation and/or to enhance the Placebo Effect.
Using such a device might provide comfort and/or distraction from pain/anxiety.
*********************************************************
Possible comforting words/actions to use with the Ongoing Healing Indicator....adding words to refer to "Ongoing Healing takes Time"....just relax and let the medicine work...the medicine works better when you're relaxed....just look at the flickering light and imagine yourself getting better and better...you see yourself as healthy and happy now...

*****************************************************************
Ideas on what else might be done...
* Other colors/shapes...
Engage more senses in Ongoing Healing...
* Smell - example - Oil Diffuser Tea Light
* Sight - Other colors/shapes...
* Touch - add vibrations, soothing touch, etc.
* Sound - add music - example
also - Ongoing Healing messages
More ideas here....and here....and here....and here, too.
***************************************************************
Also, the "Tea Light" could be controlled and programmed to do most anything by an Arduino microprocessor...

"Pill Potentizer" and "Pill Potentizer Booster" - New Concept!
Imagine, if you will, the "Pill Potentizer", which might increase the perceived potency of medication.
There are two versions of the Pill Potentizer -
* The full version for maximum perceived effectiveness - https://youtu.be/vuCy94Nr2mw
* The "Pill Potentizer Booster" which is a shortened version - designed to reactivate the maximum perceived potency of medicine, between uses of the "Pill Potentizer" - https://youtu.be/PIAhSP79otw
In addition to Potentizing Pills, one can use the Potentizer to make any Medicine/Treatment seem to work better.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement. Thanks

New Group -“Exploring how Emotions affect Health, Using Science/Technology”
Would you or others be interested in
this New Group? -“Exploring how Emotions affect Health, Using
Science/Technology”
This new group is for Technical
People interested in exploring the Mind/Body Connection, using Science and
Technology.
The group is on both LinkedIn and
Facebook, for maximum effect. Please join, if you think it might be
helpful for you.
LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/
It is well known that Emotions can
affect Health, either positively or negatively. Positive Emotions benefit
Health. Negative Emotions (Negative Stress) seem to cause or aggravate
Sickness. We now have the Scientific/Technological Tools to explore and
quantify Mind/Body Healing/Homeostasis.
This is a group of mainly Healthcare
Professionals, Scientists, Researchers, Engineers, Technically-Minded Patients,
Inventors, Innovators, Experimenters, Makers, STEM Students/Instructors, etc. -
but all are welcome.
Your participation and sharing in
this group is appreciated. Please let others know of this group, too -

Healing Prayer Focalizer
In a recent study, prayer was found to be the most common Complementary/Alternative medicine (CAM) therapy. - Is Prayer CAM?
That's why I thought it would be good to make a “Healing Prayer Focalizer” (HPF).
It is meant to provide comfort, relief, and maybe even, healing.

It is meant to provide comfort, relief, and maybe even, healing.
The HPF was made from common everyday parts and is controlled by an Arduino microcontroller.
My working model is not for sale, but within this folder, you will find information on how to make, use, and improve your own “Healing Prayer Focalizer”.
In addition, you find information on how to better understand how healing in general might work, especially Complementary/Alternative Healing modalities.

"Alternative Medical Device" Designers, Engineers, Inventors - Do you want to network?
Are there any Alternative/Complementary (CAM) device groups, conferences, associations, etc. - networking with each other, sharing best practices, etc.?
I'd like to network and learn specifically from the technical people involved in making CAM devices. They might be engineers, researchers, scientists, doctors who make devices, inventors, anyone who uses the Placebo Effect in their devices.
I see great untapped potential in "enhancing the Placebo Effect", particularly with the use of devices, e.g. pain relief, anxiety reducers, depression boosters, healing machines, psychoneuroimmunology, etc.
Alternative Medicine (CAM) is big now and is growing, both in the U.S. and worldwide. There must be technical people designing CAM devices out there (engineers, designers, technicians, etc.) These technical people must have a good understanding of the Placebo Effect to make devices that "look and sound like they heal or comfort".
These devices might be viewed by some as Quack Medical Devices and, yet, by others as a "miracle cure" or as a "comfort measure", especially for chronic health conditions.
Inasmuch as Pharmaceutical Companies make use the Placebo Effect, methinks the conventional Medical Device Industry also makes use of the Placebo, too, though I can't find many references.
Here are some examples of what I'm talking about - CAM Medical Devices -

Do medical devices have enhanced placebo effects?

I didn't find much in the way of (CAM) device groups, conferences, associations, etc. - but maybe someday.
