Re: Placebo - mind over matter?

Another interesting angle to where this thread has been taken by Mike, is the fact that some people seem immune or become immune to certain things - The Apaches and water overloaded with arsenic, people who milk snakes for their poison and survive, several what should be lethal bites, Steve Irwin who survived stingray attacks in his early career, only to accidentally die from one, when pursuing another creature for his TV show, Jose Ayala from Puerto Rico, who seems immune to electric shock that would kill an ordinary man: Could this all be proof of evolve or die (adaptions to changed conditions, with Irwin as proof that what kills us is not the dangerous substance but the shock of the unexpected?).
