If you know it’s a Placebo can you still get better?

A recent study by a variety of top notch doctors and Harvard challenged our conventional wisdom about using placebos. These docs theorized that patients who use placebos and ARE AWARE THAT THEY ARE USING PLACEBOS could improve. They took a group of people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). One group of subjects took no medication. The other group of subjects were given a bottle of sugar pills which were labeled "PLACEBO". The "open label Placebo" group was also given: 1. An ...

It's been three years since our coaching sessions and I wanted to let you know that I use a lot of what you taught me to this day. I visualize often and listen to affirmations daily. Last year I exceeded my sales goals and I just started my Masters. Being an entrepreneur is the next goal. I've really done my best to build on what you taught me and it's served me well.

"Unlike other self help books I found this one easy to read. Wendy's approach is so elegant and simple it was easy to envision myself as successful. I tried a couple of powerful personal statements and to my amazement they worked. Every morning and afternoon I've been saying “I like the idea that I can get control of these migraines”. It sounds strange but before practicing the my statements I was having daily migraines. It's now been ...

"I highly recommend reading Wendy's book "Powerful Thinking on Purpose". It is the perfect accompaniment for those providing healing practices as well as their clients to gain a fresh perspective in viewing life from a more positive, creative point of view.

Powerful Thinking on Purpose is unique and simple. After I finished the book I started using the techniques and I immediately noticed a drastic difference in how I feel. Powerful Thinking allows me to feel that what was once impossible is possible.

I loved your book! I have studied a lot about Law of Attraction and Neurolinguistic Programming, and have used affirmations before and taught others to do so. Your book brought up a good point: that if you don't believe the affirmation it has limited impact. I just love your add on of the five powerful words and I used them on an issue at work and got the support I wanted. I hope others read your ...

I recently had the honor and privilege of previewing Powerful Thinking on Purpose, by Wendy Merron. As an author who likewise champions positive thinking, I eagerly delved into the book and was wowed by Wendy’s approach. Why? Because Wendy skillfully took a complex topic and broke it down into an easily digestible format. What’s more, she introduces simple, yet profoundly powerful tools for working with our underlying belief systems so that our subconscious accepts—rather than ...

I just wanted to say that HONESTLY I LOVED YOUR BOOK. When I began to use one of the tools in your book I felt a "shift" or should I call it: THE TRUTH. I read your book in one sitting - I couldn't stop reading it! Honestly I think this could compare to Don't Sweat the Small Stuff book by Richard Carlson (if not better). It's short, sweet, and easy to read. I believe ...

If school taught us what Wendy does in this simple, direct and profound introduction to the power, choice and responsibility we each have for our own thoughts, we would not have had to learn anything else. We would have learned what the wise have always known, that we are creative every moment in how we choose to think and that our life, like a mirror, reflects what we create. In her 5 powerful words and ...
