Why Placebos Work

  By Kim Marquardt, RN MSN This blog post is from the Nurse Kim archives of myth busting. I want to share some "alternative" or maybe just lesser known health and wellness viewpoints for you to chew on. *These posts are not intended as official medical advice. They ARE meant to be fun, informative, and thought provoking, hopefully sparking an interest for you to do your own research (you can start with the links I provide!) and discover the marvels of the human body, and how it can function at its optimal performance level if we understand how it works and interacts with our environment and our diet. I have a passion for health and wellness through lifestyle and nutrition and have done thousands of hours of research in addition to being a registered nurse for 23 years.

By Daykia Knight (she) Mental Health Counselor, under the supervision of Ghada Osman LMFT 83472 Daykia is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at the University of San Diego with a strong commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Washington, where she began exploring how systems of oppression shape emotional well-being. That foundation continues to inform her clinical lens today. Guided by Feminist Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Daykia integrates values-based behavioral work with a deep understanding of racial, gendered, and intergenerational trauma. She believes healing must address not only the individual but also the sociocultural forces that often go unrecognized yet deeply impact mental health. We currently live in a political climate that justifies the disproportionate punishment and criminalization of people of color, particularly those of undocumented status. Fighting thr...
