I don’t think a placebo works if you know its a placebo.

If you can knowingly take a placebo - and it “works” - then you need to question your need for pain meds to begin with.

Of course - even if you didn’t know you were taking a placebo - if you then found out you had similar results to taking real pain meds - what does that say?

I don’t think placebo pills will work if you know they are placebos. That is the whole point a placebo.

My bad—it’s only in your foot and it “just happens” now.

How long ago were the operations?

placebos are rarely used, and in my 40 yr nursing career have only seen them prescribed once....and they do need a drs prescription....

I know you're only being tongue in cheek....

magnesium malate. It’s a twofer too. You’ll think it’s a placebo but it will eliminate your body pain.

The Magnesium Calcium pills did help me before I started the Gaba. I may go back to them as the first choice.

You cannot do a placebo on yourself. The whole thing with a placebo is that you have to “believe” that the medication is real.

There are conditions that not even a box of Raisinettes can cure.
