- The placebo effect is powerful! For 100 years scientists have included a placebo group in randomized control trials and have found that a large number of patients with a wide range of symptoms have seen improvements in their symptoms and their lives. This phenomenon points to the powerful ability for our bodies to heal themselves from the inside if given the right support and taking a placebo can trigger that.
- It has been suggested that our bodies have been conditioned to begin the healing process when we take pills, just like Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate to prepare to eat when they heard a bell. This might explain how placebos can be so powerful and effective.
- A positive attitude could help improve symptoms to a higher degree but is not necessary. In fact, one study found that people who did not believe an honest placebo would work for them had the same improvements as a group who did believe that honest placebos would work. We at Progressive Placebo believe that having a positive attitude can help many areas of our lives, but preliminary research shows that it's not a necessity to create a placebo effect when taking honest placebos.
- Taking the placebo pills consistently is important. The participants of the study were encouraged to take 2 placebo pills twice daily. To increase the probability of recreating the positive results for IBS symptoms, please ensure you are taking 2 pills 2-3 times daily.
