You’re absolutely right! This is crap! These so-called researchers could never have treated patients with “acute” pain, using placebos! That’s pure, un-adulterated bullshit!
“acute” pain, using placebos!”
yup ... I think that’s the real give away statement right there.
No one in there right mind would believe that placebo would be as effective as opiate for acute pain. Even a die hard “no drugs for anybody” type has to know that is a total crock.
