I believe that the placebo effect is significant enough that I have told my wife that if I ever become ill then she should discuss the possibility of giving me a placebo treatment with a doctor without my knowledge. Although it works when people know it is a placebo it seems to work better if people don't know. So for example, if I get ill and they aren't sure what to do, give me a placebo and tell me it is medicine for my illness, whatever it is, and see how that goes. If it works dont ever tell me it was a placebo. Its got to be worth a shot.
- consp 8y agoSo basically homeopathy?
- celticninja 8y agoNo. If you don't understand the difference between placebo and homeopathy I suggest you do some reading into them both.
- consp 8y ago/s is apparently non optional these days... They both have non working components (or no working components whatsoever) and solely rely on the placebo effect for providing any form of relief (if any). A proper placebo is on the other hand only used in medical testing. So please explain to me what you think I should read about? Since you are suggesting I read something.
