You can't make this stuff up.


Ah yes, the benefits of placebomeniphan. Worked with a shrink once who
thought that most substance abusers needed SOMETHING to hang on to to
hand their troubles on. He used to RX tryptophan. There was a biologic
response so the addicts knew something was happening, it was cheap,
pretty much impossible to OD and (according to the doc) the only major
side effect was to get a little nervous around Thanksgiving.


Guys!

Remember the last time you told one of your friends "Doctor
said you gonna die!". Well ... enter the "Norcebo Effect".
Not very nice!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo
"In medicine, a nocebo (Latin for "I shall harm") is a
harmless substance that creates harmful effects in a
patient who takes it. The nocebo effect is the negative
reaction experienced by a patient who receives a nocebo.
Conversely, a placebo is an inert substance that creates
either a positive response or no response in a patient
who takes it.

Okay now, which one of your guys is GONNA DIE!
