Human development XXII: Holistic therapy induces Antonovsky salutogenesis and spontaneous healing and recovery. Human genes for metamorphosis might control salutogenesis. If the expression of such genes are controlled by our (sub)consciousness this explains the placebo effect and possibly also spontaneous remission from cancer
