Yes, false.
Have you ever heard of the "placebo effect"?
pla·ce·bo ef·fect
pləˈsēbō əˈfekt,ēˈfekt/
noun
a beneficial effect, produced by a placebo drug or treatment, that cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment.
