Major Universities and Hospitals Promoting Placebo Effect - Please Let Us, The Public, Help Too!

Video on Placebo Effect - Depression -


"PiPS Associate Director Irving Kirsch discusses the placebo effect with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes this past Sunday." -  http://programinplacebostudies.org/tag/placebo-effect/

Harvard-Wide Program - Beth Israel Medical Center

Tom sez - How about opening this research to the public?  Crowdsourcing?  Open Innovation?  Wiki?
People know what works and what doesn't, even if Science doesn't agree or can't figure out how it works.  Examples - Many people swear by devices that others have said are "Quack Medical Devices".  Who is right? The patient who says it works or ....the skeptic who says it does not or cannot work?
