The Placebo Effect - Is it real or just imagined?

According to dictionary. com the placebo effect is a beneficial effect, produced by a placebo drug or treatment, that cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment. the experiment that Beeches’ preformed was evaluating 15 clinics trials experimenting different diseases and he found that a 3% of the patients were sactifactory with the placebo effect alone with out any medication. but in modern time the rest of the experiments have shown that more than the 50% have been effective by the participants towards the placebo effect. But it has been proved that some mother n drugs are more effective than the placebo effect. Some important information was that he only recorded the people that were successful with the pelcbo effect and he did not record the people that were not successful in the experiment. Through the placebo effects there has been studies many cases and there is no adequate evidence from studies that this new drug is successful.

There may also be an side effect to this treatment and how the patient reacts to this new drug and how the body also does. This experiment and the treatment may be very riskful because of the factors that apply or affect many treatments also evaluating the treatments may be very difficult. All this factors make my opinion that the placebo effect is really helpful in some situations but in others there might be some complication towards what is happening to the people that are taking the experiment in my opinion many factors are involved to se this effect succeed like the background of this people or the ethics. Like if taking a pill what would be the reaction to the pill if the patient is not taking it or he or she is to taking this procedure seriously, in conclusion i think that this effect does work.

The experiment that this actricle performs is showing faces and the participant has to say if it is a male or female face. the results were in that the women could identify the faces more acuertly than the men did.

We forted what we lived for three and half years but then we can remember most things later on from the three years. The most important is that it depends that where you where raised how long will you remember the memories that had occurred, because a person from New Zealand was asked one of her memories and she said that she remember going to a funeral when she was two and half years old.
