Bryce PerryHOST
Here you are.
Bryce PerryHOST
You ready for this? Who knew? The reveal is the placebo effect.
Bryce PerryHOST
But not just somebody saying, I think I feel better.
Bryce PerryHOST
Researchers measured the release of the person's own dopamine after an inactive treatment they believed might be real.

Jocelyn BrewerGUEST
Placebo effect is one of the strongest effects, right? If I tell you, you know, dancing in your knickers backwards around a mulberry bush in the full moon is going to work.

Placebo is not nothing.

Nonspecific effects are methods that are not specific to any one intervention as they are used by caring and organized clinicians across the healing arts.
