It is fascinating to study the placebo effect. “The Placebo Effect is one of the strangest and least understood phenomenons found in human physiology and psychology. Most of us know a thing or two about it, namely that we can essentially cure ourselves of maladies simply because we believe we are being cured of them. In other words we trick ourselves back into health, proving that the brain is an extremely powerful entity“(1).
FACTS ABOUT PLACEBOS:
- A placebo does NOT require manipulation to work. In a recent Harvard study, a bottle with pills labeled PLACEBO worked just as well as the best medication. This is the fact that inspired us to found Placebo Depot, and stock our online placebo shop with the most extensive list of placebos available anywhere!
- “Approximately half the drugs that fail in late stage trials fail because they simply can’t out-perform placebos”.
- Another placebo effect is called “Nocebo”. This is funny~! People can also get the “side effects” of the thing that is being “placeboed”….. like irritable bowels or erectile dysfunction. The good news is, the only side effects you will encounter with our PLACEBO DEPOT brand placebos is an increased sense of well-being.
- The more placebo pills taken the better, with those taken four times a day more effective than those taken twice daily. Pills that have a “brand name” stamped on them also work better than pills that have nothing written on them. It appears that we humans are superficial even when it comes to the fake drugs we ingest.”
- We can’t (typically) will our way toward recovery, but need to take a pill. In essence, we need some sort of “external influence“ to initiate the sequence of events that lead to the placebo effect.
- Some high profile studies are showing that placebos can be as effective as anti-depressants (probably more effective since anxiety is a side-effect of some anti-depressants).
- Placebo pill color matters: “Researchers have learned that yellow placebo pills are the most effective at treating depression while red pills cause the patient to be more alert and awake. Green pills help ease anxiety while white pills soothe stomach issues such as ulcers.”
- “Fake surgeries can be just as effective as the real thing, taking the placebo effect to the next level.”
- Placebo effect also occurs with dogs, and other animals like lab mice.
- People can get “placebo drunk” on non-alcoholic beer, complete with lower IQ and impaired judgement. There is a youtube video showing a frat party that served up an alcohol free keg. I didn’t watch it. You can link to it from the listverse link below
- Placebos help you play golf better, do more push ups, and even take away your cough. That is why we have placebos for these and MANY other needs~!
