[QUOTE="Simon Bridge, post: 4057239, member: 367532"] Has the author got the wrong end of the stick? [url]http://phys.org/news/2012-08-insights-placebo-effect.html[/url] He seems to be saying that the placebo effect is the bodies ability to heal itself without outside cause (beyond the patients beliefs). I understood "placebo effect" to be more when a patient feels better without getting better. Perhaps they are talking about the special case where a positive attitude improves immune response - despondent people tend not to get better as easily? [/QUOTE]
