The Placebo Effect has been demonstrated, for the first time, to be so profoundly powerful that patients made aware of their useless medication ingestion, STILL continued to enjoy the beneficial improvements wrought by the medication/active itself! Invalid Link Removed
Harvard (pronounced: Haaah-vaaaahd, before sipping an expensive mixed-drink with a pinky in the air) Medical School explained that this effect has been observed many times before with an inert pill, but the fact a plurality of subjects continued to reduce their ailment even AFTER being informed, has huge implications. While 35 per cent of the patients who had not received any treatment reported an improvement, 59 per cent of the placebo group felt better. "The placebo was almost twice as effective as the control," says Kaptchuk. "That would be a great result if it was seen in a normal clinical trial of a drug." CUH-RAAAZY! Welcome to the future of medicine Anabolic Minds, varying labels slapped on bottles of sugar pills.
No wonder those traveling salesmen from Pete's Dragon and such enjoyed such success!
I sure wish someone would send me a bottle of glistening M1T capsules that were filled with nothing but Fairy Dust and Unicorn shavings. Wait... what?
