At the Seniors Discount Club, we're constantly looking for innovations that help simplify or improve life.

This is why we were taken aback upon discovering a secret CIA 'cheat code', revealed in a declassified document dating back to 1977, that is said to help alleviate pain in minutes!

The deep dive uncovered by Stephanie Forlini has racked up over 6.7 million views on social media, with people absolutely flabbergasted at the results.

Forlini revealed that a five-digit code, 55515, was developed by the Monroe Institute of Applied Science as part of the CIA's Gateway Program—a training system that used meditation-like techniques combined with sound technology to facilitate altered states of consciousness for the purposes of expanding consciousness.

Forlini explained that the technique involved shutting your eyes and focusing on the affected area of your body.

'So you're going to visualise the part of your body that's in pain,' she said.

'And you're going to repeat the number 55515. When you do these two things, the pain signals will slowly reduce until they are no longer important.'

We're sure you'll understand our surprise when people reported that it actually worked for them!

One stunned viewer gushed: 'I always have the worst period cramps, and I used this a couple of minutes ago…And they are GONE.'

Another couldn't believe the results either: 'This instantly fixed my headache...I'm scared.'

More shared stories of general aches, pains, and the occasional construction injury being soothed instantly by the technique.

'Okay, I'm freaking out. I have lower back pain, and now...The pain went away,' added a third.

Of course, not everyone immediately found results, and some believed the code's effectiveness was all down to the placebo effect—that is, simply believing something will make you better causes it to work.

According to Victoria's Department of Health, the placebo effect is up to 80 per cent effective in improving physical and mental health, triggered by the person's belief in the efficacy of the treatment or medication and their expectation of feeling better.

Then, one user added an interesting perspective in the comments section of Forlini's video: 'Regardless if it's because the code worked or just because of the placebo effect, the person is still feeling less pain! So, in my opinion, the move was a success.'

Key Takeaways

• A secret 'cheat code' revealed in a declassified CIA document from 1977 has sparked interest and surprise on the internet, with many claiming it helps to alleviate pain.
• Stephanie Forlini shared on social media the five-digit code 55515, developed by the Monroe Institute of Applied Science for the CIA's Gateway Program, which supposedly helps reduce feelings of pain when focused on.
• The technique shared by Forlini has been viewed more than 6.7 million times, with many viewers attesting to its effectiveness.
• However, some users were sceptical, suggesting the apparent results could be attributed to the placebo effect rather than the technique itself.

Whether or not it's the placebo effect, it's still impressive that the power of belief and insistence can control, or at least alleviate, physical pain. But if you need tried and tested methods, other options are always available.

Rest and Relaxation: Allow your body to rest and recover. Lie down in a comfortable position, use pillows to support painful areas, and engage in deep breathing or meditation to relax your muscles

Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat (warm towel, heating pad) or cold (ice pack) to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and ease pain. Alternate between heat and cold therapy if appropriate.

Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: Non-prescription pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Panadol) can temporarily relieve mild to moderate pain. Follow the recommended dosage instructions.

Hydration and Nutrition: Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet supports your body's natural healing process. Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and aids in the removal of toxins.

Gentle Stretching and Exercise: Depending on the source of pain, gentle stretching and low-impact exercises can help improve flexibility, increase blood circulation, and promote healing. Always consult your doctor before attempting any new exercises.

However, it's important to note that these suggestions do not substitute professional medical advice. If your pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional.

All I can say is there must be a lot of gullible people out there.

Well nothing ventured nothing gained. I was the mug who tried it to see if helped relieve my knee pain, only after hubby almost fell off his chair laughing. Surprise, surprise, made absolutely no difference. Hubby said it didn’t help his back pain either listening to me recite the code out loud. At least we both got a good laugh out of it.

I pressed play to see what the girl was on about.

Not for me .... I'll stick to old and tried measures.
