    Does the placebo button work?

    Do you think the placebo button really works? 1/3 chance sounds like good conversion nonetheless. Try it for yourself. 🙂

    Did you know the Placebo Effect can occur even when you know it’s a placebo? It’s true. And it happens in about one in three people.

    That means, if I give you a placebo, and tell you it’s a placebo, there’s a 1 in 3 chance it will help alleviate symptoms of whatever I say it’s for.

    Enter the Placebo Button. Simply type in what you want your button to cure, and click it. It might help to come back and do it often; your button should still be here if you return tomorrow.

    It’s crazy. It’s science. It just might work.
