Placebo

The Placebo effect is a measurable, observable or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributable to a medication or invasive treatment that has been administered, in other words its an inert substance that produces the same or a similar effect as an actual medicine. H.K. evaluated 15 clinics and here he found that 35% of the 1082 treated patients were actually relieved and cured by a placebo, showing the inmense power of placebos. The problems this had were found by Kienle and Kiene and they found that in a reanalysis "no evidence of any placebo effect in any of the studies cited by him." The effect of placebos according to what I have read is really strong, and I believe that just because you want to get better and feel that something will make you feel better it will make you feel better and many of your illnesses are in your head and the fake idea that it is going to cure you makes your mind think that and therefore you get better, and placebos should be legalized since they would help really expensive medicine get cheaper and there will be less need of it since many of the diseases can be cured with a simple placebo but doctors give you very expensive medicines so they can get more money and they would have the same effect as a placebo, this is really sad and it probably wont be legalized since the bussiness is so big and it would not help the farmaceutical business and the corruption is so big and they have a huge influence on them.
