Asserting that a human body possesses special energies that aid healing and eliminate “negative forces�, a Pakistani doctor has claimed he can treat and cure patients even on mobile telephones. Samad Musafir, who claims curing people by transmission of energy, says that he practises “Zheel sciences� that could cure the sick on the cellphone. Musafir said that he has explored various “paranormal scientific disciplines� to find a common phenomenon that he called the “Samda� force. He said that the human body can transmit and receive Samda energy and the healing process involves a movement of the force from the healer to the sick. He said Samda has about 14 different levels to acquire powers and heal patients. Musafir supported his argument with verses from the Holy Quran and references to other paranormal sciences, saying the technique does not contradict any religious belief. He claimed that his students could cure eyesight problems with the technique, and that the energy allowed him to communicate with his “grand master�. He said that a large number of scientists are studying this phenomenon and his students include prominent Pakistani doctors including Dr Rashid, a paediatrician, Dr Fouzia, a psychiatrist, Dr Muhammad Younas, an ophthalmologist, Dr Muhammad Maqsood, Dr Abdul Mateen and several other physicians.

It shows you how many symptoms of illnesses are magnified by the mental awareness of them.  If you believe you're ridding yourself of them, they're probably going to be less significant.

The Placebo Effect

Exactly!

Dogbert: Here, take this, it's a placebo
Dilbert: How is it going to work if I know it's a placebo?
Dogbert: Because it might not be one.  That's the magic of placebos!

I did a big project on psychosomaticism my Senior year in high school (read: 15 pages).  You would be absolutely shocked at some of the things your mind can do when it is tricked to believe some things.  I would have to look up the article, but the biggest example that sticks out in my mind was an incident in England a few years ago where someone made it appear that toxic gas was coming out of the vents in a grade school (the gas was really quite harmless).  Two thirds of the students affected by the "gas" were takin to the hospital because of real physical problems.
