"Patients will feel better if they believe they're taking painkillers — even if their doses contain no medication, according to a University of Michigan study.In other news, scientists discover that Bactine helps the hurt stop hurting, Band-Aids make the owie go away and a spoonful of sugar in fact does help the medicine go down. In a most delightful way.
The study, examining the placebo effect, shows that the brain releases chemicals that relieve pain in patients who believe they're being treated."
Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
