A recent study revealed that placebos are just as effective as real meds in relieving pain, even when the doctor told the patients they were taking placebos! We will be hearing a lot more of these specious studies as government health care kicks in, because we simply can’t afford real medication. That’s why ALL government employees should be forced to have the very same medical care, such as it will be, as we tax drones will have.
You hit the nail on the head. Pharma companies often see a 20-25% placebo effect when they test emerging medicines.
Reiki has a placebo effect in that it helps improve focus and relaxation. Nothing wrong with that. The rest is a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
