It was a wonderful lecture. Here is a PDF of the power point: The Nocebo Effect, Health Leadership Presentatation, PWI 2015.

After the lecture Pierre facilitated a short forum.

We explored two different sides around the issue of health. One side that is directive and corrective – do this and that, eat healthy, exercise; and another side that says no I want to support my own wellness and go with the flow and relationship is more important.

There was dialogue about statistics and if you are not in the 90% of mainstream normality your are insignificant. Instead we need diversity.

There was appreciation of the effort that goes into medicine and care for others and appreciation for those who take care of themselves and are self empowered.

There was discussion around the rank of the pharmaceutical industry, the legal system, and medical research system how we support them but are also overpowered or colonized by them.
