The word nocebo comes from the Latin word nocere, which means, I will harm. It is the opposite of placebo, meaning, I will heal.

Dr. Rudy Kachmann uses this powerful book to educate patients about the harmful results of the nocebo effect. He also offers practical tips about how to avoid falling victim to the nocebo effect, saving you money, preventing unnecessary medical procedures and surgeries and possibly even saving your life!
