The placebo effect
Luis Cook
placebo effect is not real

You better rush your result disproving it to the FDA because it's one of the key features that is tested in clinical pharmacology to know if a drug works.
Levi Martin
brainlet physicians just don't understand statistical phenomena. so they give things they don't understand magical explanations like "the persons thoughts must have caused it to happen!"
Grayson Butler
No science at all. Its bollocks m8.

Do you know how you build resistance to poisons?
Lucas Adams

This it's the principle behind homeopathic resistance.
Ian Morgan
The more you dilute a poison, the healthier it gets.
Connor Anderson
By drinking a glass of water and seven molecules of poison?
Oliver Ward
Exactly, you generate natural resistance if you are exposed to low dosis, this it's a valid method to produce poison resistance.
The problem it's that they don't differentiate between what it's possible to generate resistance through this method and what not, they don't always separate water soluble compounds and the ones that require fat cells.
This it's one of the issues caused by the methodology, but well made it has effect it describes, it's same principle behind vaccines.
The problem with homeopathy, it's orthodox homeopathy.

Mithridatism only works if those low dosis reach the minimum level able to activate tissue receptors;
if the amounts are not high enough but they are solved, they can act like healers without getting resistances nor poison effects.

Oliver Gray
the phenomenon what you often hear called placebo effect is really just regression to the mean
Luke Turner
Not how the body works. Most poisons are just cytotoxic and you can't become resistant. If it's a pathogen then if given in small amounts they would reproduce a sizeable amount before the body detects it anyway.
Daniel Gray

Article has a lot wrong: for one not all studies just use placebo as a base line - many have "no intervention" groups and consistently show placebo achieving more than that.
Also the main case they report is one of osteoarthritis and they claim the result is down to a natural improvement of disease. Im sure i don't need to say why this is a stupid thing to claim with regards to OA.
Jonathan Allen
epidemiologist here
> statistician takes over-simplistic view of medicine, claims to understand it
usually this is the other way around.
Simplistic example of why you're wrong: take patient with resting heartrate, tell them you've given them adrenaline, observe increased heartrate.
Chase Bennett
So a page of conjecture disproves decades of clinically established evidence? I don't think so pal
