@algancao-on the Placebo Response

Smart money (and big Pharma) is focusing on placebos. There’s a lot there beyond the bane of drug trials. http://bit.ly/3AjpJD #placebo

Chinese medicine author Ted Kaptchuck parlayed success from his book into researching placebos. Smart. #placebo http://bit.ly/3AjpJD

My take on acupuncture : everything works, and nothing works. How much of my confusion arises from placebos muddying outcomes? #placebo

Ignorant herbalists get great results but don’t recognize their failings, nor does the patient. Gotta wonder why study then? #placebo

Placebo patients love a good narrative, but they’re generally underdosed. Ron Teaguarden teaches “facts tell, stories sell.” #placebo
