Placebos are safe and effective and offer a sense of research for new therapies. An example is using a sugar pill in a controlled experiment. The placebo effect can ease things such as pain, nausea, fatigue, headaches, and depression. ]]> 2021-09-14 18:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jrusconi3/y9lehgpe5btjslnu/wish/1740342381
