I get the point this guy is making though. There are so many posts on here of people recovering from the most random things. Testosterone injection, copper detox, ignoring dpd, diet, exercise, random supplements like taurine, all kinds of different meds, I read some post where somebody said melatonin and another where someone said it was apple cider vinegar. So maybe there is something to this idea of having enough belief in something and then it cures you. It sounds crazy but the mind can do some crazy shit. For example, people with multiple personality disorder can have a personality where their body has diabetes. But when they switch personalities the diabetes goes away. A physical illness of the body completely goes away through the power of the mind is what I'm saying. If you think I'm making this up check out this article where a person is blind from an accident but has multiple personalities so when she switches to the other personality she can see and goes back and forth between being blind and not blind! Here it is:

So maybe the mind really has more power to heal than we think because it capable of causing changes in the body like this.
Here's something else really weird that the mind can do related to it's power over the body and causing physical ailments. It's called "Conversion disorder"
Conversion disorder (CD) is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression.
So what that is saying above is physical symptoms of the body like numbness, blindness, and paralysis are somehow being caused by a psychological source. So your mind basically seems to be able to control your body in all kinds of ways most wouldn't think possible. Like there are people with conversion disorder that are paralyzed and can't walk but there is no physical reason for it to happen. The mind just takes over.
Maybe having a genuine belief of a cure really effects the mind's hold on the DP. So it all being in your "head" is not such a crazy idea after all. It's definitely something physical happening to our bodies in DPD but could it be turned of by the mind since the mind is capable of such changes as shown above? Maybe a change in your "mind" or "head" or whatever you want to call is all it takes for it to let go and the DPD symptoms to fade
