The placebo effect – It doesn’t work for everyone, but science has demonstrated time and again that placebos can work for a sizeable proportion of the population.
Will they, could they work for you?
Right from the start we want to be clear – we make no promises or claims – it is for you to make your own mind up! Can and will placebos work for you? Please take time to look at the videos and the study summaries that have been brought together on this website before making your judgement. Use the links above to find out more about how placebos are viewed by the scientific establishment, how they are used by medical practitioners and how effective they are.
This website will help you to understand how to un-lock the potential of the placebo effect and if it helps, you can purchase inert placebo medication for you to use as you see fit.
The placebos are available in various shapes and sizes and are made from one of three types of inert ingredients; sucrose, lactose or xylitol. The tablets, capsules and pillules contain no active ingredients – the only effect being the perceived benefit experienced by recipients taking the placebo.
We make no medical claims at all, only the supposition that the 'placebo effect' is widely recognised to be present and to ‘work for some people some of the time’.
