it surely effects . can be positive or
negative ...
The placebo effect (Latin placebo, "I
shall please"), first mentioned in 1955
by Henry K. Beecher, M.D. (Beecher 1955)
and also known as non-specific effects
and the subject-expectancy effect, is
the phenomenon that a patient's symptoms
can be alleviated by an otherwise
ineffective treatment, since the
individual expects or believes that it
will work. Some people consider this to
be a remarkable aspect of human
physiology; others consider it to be an
illusion arising from the way medical
experiments were conducted.
The phenomenon is not fully understood
by science.(New Scientist Space -
