The Placebo effect (2)
What pharmaceutical companies still need to do(in case they have not) is to help us find the percentage of people who get the real medications and yet don’t get better!
If 40% out of those people that get dummies say they get better,how many receive the potent/active ingredients and their symptoms still remain the same?
No matter how potent a drug is,let it be clear to anyone,that the belief of the person using the medication on its efficacy cannot be thrown aside.
Unfortunately,no research can quantify the level of belief of the respondents!
The lesson here is this: Your belief that something will work for you transcends the thing itself.
