Good Question

Trust the “experts”.

Maryanne Demasi, reports- What’s in the placebo?

We tried to find out what was in the “placebo pill” of one of the most controversial statin trials ever conducted.

…the exact formulation of a placebo is rarely disclosed in the peer-reviewed publication of a clinical trial. Further, medical journals do not require authors, nor drug manufacturers, to disclose the contents of a placebo or publish the CoA. Placebos may contain excipients such as chemicals, dyes, or allergens, which might unintentionally cause side effects, raising concerns about the reliability of trial data and the transparency of important information.

    It’d be better for us without that constant barrage of propaganda from our politicians and mainstream media.

  2. Well, color me shocked that the placebo isn’t merely a sugar pill that does nothing. I shouldn’t be, however. We get nothing but spin and lies these days.
