“prescribing placebo treatments without informing the patient.”

ahahah you guys… you make me laugh. :)

get informed on what a “placebo treatment” is, and then you will understand WHY patients are NOT informed when taking it. should you know that you have been prescripted a placebo, the “placebo effect” (really existing good effects after taking nothing more than a sugar pill, due to the positive reaction of the patient to the idea of the treatment) will immediately disappear.

moreover, many trials of new medicines are based on a “double blind” test, meaning real pill versus placebo: differences in results. this is how many new therapies are verified, discovered and found really working.

we’re not triking you. you are just too suspicious :)

Wackos abound! Particularly at sic(k) willie’s blog. Most of sic(k) willie’s wackos are reflections. You know. Paid for by the same carpetbuggers.

will, serious question: If given a “placebo,” where would you put it?

Believe me — better to get a placebo than what’s in some of those little “medications!”
