Placebos don’t work. It’s a common misconception. Placebo effect is the error in measuring not any actual effect. It’s literally the barrier we use to define effective and non effective.

Anyone claiming they have something that provides a placebo effect to help is fraudulent or ignorant.

In the UK it is illegal to proscribe placebos. Because they don’t work.
