Well, there's biofeedback. That seems generally accepted.

And there's stigmata, which seems documented.

"Laying on of hands" -- "Theraputic touch" --is scoffed at, but I think it's established that babies will die if they're not handled.

I've been told that some people will die if they have a spell cast on them if they know it.

Some vomit at the sight of something unpleasant.

According to my daughter the pharmacist, placebos will grow hair on bald spots, but not quite as good as Rogaine, and hair's not subjective.

Why doubt that mind can affect body? I thought the idea of mind as separate from body, as the "ghost in the machine" was obsolete these days.
