"Alternative medicine practitioners love the placebo effect. To many of
them, it is proof that the mind can heal the body through the power of
positive thinking. While that is a tempting narrative, it is very much a
tall tale. The placebo effect is not nearly as powerful as it's billed
to be, nor can it be controlled with a simple thought."
Outside the setting of clinical trials, there is no justification for the use of placebos
