Placebo: The Science of Hope explores why people get better on hope. Placebos are fake pills, most commonly used to test how well drugs are working. They shouldn't work, but sometimes they do. It makes people feel foolish to get better on nothing, and they are often told their illness isn't real if it responds to placebos. For centuries doctors have ignored placebo effect, or used it to rid themselves of nuisance patients. But a few tenacious researchers have focused on placebo effect. Placebo - The Science of Hope looks into what evidence there is for how placebo effect might in fact work. Is there evidence of an internal healing power? If there is, why aren't we using it? Now researchers are taking another look at the power of the fake pill.
