Very cool. Amazing placebo examples, indeed. Thx for this, Carolyn.
Who could have guessed that placebos actually work better if you take two pills instead of one, if you take capsules instead of pills, or if the placebo is injected instead of in a capsule? Thanks for this awesome link.
Fascinating – thanks Carolyn for this look at the bizarre effectiveness of placebos.
