Because that's the type of stuff that's been cured. Terminal cancer, cured by miracles. Now you can spout stuff about natural remission but I'm talking about tumours that are cured instantly  ..........I see you don't really know what Placebo is.

Placebo, when something that should by all realistic and logical means not cure you, but does so anyway, because you believed hard enough that it would cure you.

Because the Mind rules over the Body. It can cure many things, simply because they believe. There's also Nocebo, which can even kill you, for the same reason.

Belief is important. Believe hard enough and you can do a lot of things. The effect at times even works when one knows the truth. With enough self-suggestion, you can reform yourself for anything.

It's not reliable enough to be a Magical Cure-it-All, but it's reliable enough to be a last resort for things that sheer-belief alone can prevent.
