    Placebos only work if the people think they’ll work. Funnily enough, it is possible to be aware something is a placebo and still expect it to work,

    Even if you know that it is a placebo, it still works. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/placebos-work-even-without-deception

    I don’t know if you have to believe in the placebo effect for it to have an effect. :)

    Homeopathy… do the sugar balls have a better effect if they are very expensive? Who knows.
