Kirsch, who's been studying placebos for 36 years, says "sugar pills" can work miracles.
Kirsch: Placebos are great for treating a number of disorders: irritable bowel syndrome, repetitive strain injuries, ulcers, Parkinson's disease.
Even traumatic knee pain. In this clinical trial some patients with osteoarthritis underwent knee surgery. While others had their knees merely opened and then sewn right back up.
Kirsch: And here's what happened. In terms of walking and climbing, the people who got the placebo actually did better-- It's a $$ saving scheme from Obama & Co. It's the death panel's sister: misery panel.
