Quote:Giving patients placebo treatments for real medication conditions in a clinical setting is a terrible idea. Placebos are weak, their effects disappear within a short period of time, and have very little effect on objective measures. At best, you are merely suppressing subjective symptoms while objective symptoms remain or worsens
Could not have said it better myself

The placebo effect is NOT pseudoscience dummy, it has been studied extensively.
