Also, more expensive sugar pills work better than cheaper sugar pills. (And bigger ones, colourful ones, etc). Presumably this means something like homeopathy could work better than sugar pills.
It's easy to ridicule homeopathy, and it certainly shouldn't be used for illnesses that are easy to treat. But, perhaps it could be a valid treatment for chronic, hard to treat conditions. It's certainly very elaborate and expensive.
- _Microft 9y agoThe bad thing with homeopathy is not that they're fooling people to take substances that have no effect on their own and only work via the placebo-effect. It's the "making a lot of money from sick people by selling expensive placebos"-part that's despicable.
