Thanks very much for responding :)
You have given me much to think about... I have an exam, soon... But I will get back to this after...
I'm shocked about all this talk of minimising placebo response in trials, honestly. Not by YOUR talk of it, because I know that you are just informing me of 'standard talk'... But, honestly... I don't want my medications to be better than those inaffective placebos. I want my medications to be better than the best placebos money can buy! I mean... Placebo's are pretty effective... Done well... Probably more effective than standard meds.
This seems... Important.
