Hi,
Besides that, we also know that love or sorrow affect our health.
So, emotions or thoughts can affect our health and it shows that mind is the one which does all that.
But how can it do that?
Is there a scientific explanation?

Thank you very much.

Please don't say "because of the spirit".
If emotions and thoughts were the fruits of the spirit, we wouldn't need a brain.
Or anything alive -plants, single cells- could feel and think.

Many people feel better just because they take a pill. A placebo works as well if they do not know that it is a sugar pill.
In experiments, they usually run double blind, because the doctor is going to ask the patient"You feel better, don't you" while nodding, and the patient is likely to say yes. If the doctor does not know which pill is real, then he is less likely to do that. There is a psychological effect of being helped.

A few months ago, I think somewhere on Yahoo! I read an article listing the 50 greatest questions of science. Most of them were related to astronomy and quantum physics, but the placebo effect was on there if I'm not mistaken. They don't officially know how it works, just that it does; kinda like gravity.

All they know is that it works.

Sounds to me rather like someone needs an essay for their homework, and hoping someone will write it for him.
