[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1265015, member: 13978"] Well, the problem with the placebo effect is that a) it's immoral to lie to people when you know the treatment is fake, and b) it's only a little bit effective and only useful in a few types of illness - if you've got Rabies, or Appendicitis, it's not going to do you any good. Even when it does have some effect, it's pretty poor at what it does and the main reason people talk about it is not as a treatment but the absolute LOWER baseline of what's effective - i.e. it's almost the same effect as doing nothing, or making up something. It's not an achievement. [/QUOTE]
