Placebo Effect

The placebo effect is "the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributable to a medication or invasive treatment that has been administered". The H.K study is very effectiveness like the first article said " studies have shown that placebos are effective in 50 or 60 percent of subjects with certain conditions,"pain, depression, some heart ailments, gastric ulcers and other stomach complaints." And, as effective as the new psychotropic drugs seem to be in the treatment of various brain disorders, some researchers maintain that there is not adequate evidence from studies to prove that the new drugs are more effective than placebos". This shows us how people can be fooled easily, because someone comes and tells you this can cure your problem than you are really thinking positive of that cure adn you make your mind believe its true. Problems that these studies may have, are not a lot because placebo effect is just to prove that people can be tricked very easily and how sometimes illness isnt cured just by medical things. Placebos for me is very effective because its cheapier than all those medications people waste a lot of money in artifacts that sometimes cure you or maybe not. But to take the risk it is whole lot better placebos.
