medicine is like anything else the
average person the results are all that
really matters so if the treatment works
who cares if there’s anything real about
it right how can I give some of this
none of those drugs have been approved
by the FDA screw the FDA I’m gonna be
away welcome to watchmojo.com Stallman
we’re counting down the five most
fascinating facts about the placebo
effect in which the individual feels the
experiences benefits or effect of a
specific treatment or drug which in
reality has no active ingredients or
medical effectiveness
[Music]
number five you can get placebo crunk I
know all of this is not real including
the vodka re thinks he’s trippin on its
popular convention in film and
television what happens when you give a
bunch of people fake drugs or alcohol
they get messed up or at least they
think they do
oh no we’d like non-alcoholic beer oh
really
no a team of psychologists from Victoria
University in New Zealand put the fake
buzz strop to the test and not only did
participants really believe they were
feeling the effects of inebriation but
their brains went along for the ride
showing signs of legitimately impaired
memory and perhaps it was the fake wine
but that was the night George Michael
and Maeby went to second base
some 148 students were told that half of
them were getting vodka tonics the other
half just tonic water and were then
shown scenes from a crime those who
thought they’d been drinking proved to
be significantly less reliable witnesses
now that’s a cheap drunk number four
placebos got an evil twin the nocebo
effect I think therefore I am a faux
drunken experience might seem like
affordable fun but is it worth a fake
hangover the placebo effect is
undeniably powerful but as comic books
have taught us with great power usually
comes an evil twin or dark doppelganger
you can defeat me Scott but can you
defeat yourself introducing the nocebo
effect otherwise known as the negative
side effects some of the side effects
may include nausea muscle weakness and
SAAM Nia change in appetite dry mouth
irritation faith in the treatment can
yield positive results on patient’s
health but it is equally possible for
them to manifest the negative side
effects they’d expect from a treatment I
thought it wasn’t real your mind makes
it real for example Lucy Bo drugs are
particularly effective against
depression but when one comparative
study participant attempted to overdose
on his placebo antidepressants his body
responded accordingly showing signs of a
real overdose including critically low
blood pressure
mind is a powerful thing how is this
possible it isn’t this contradicts
everything we know about holodeck
physics number three animals experience
it – it’s not Debbie stone are we done
here are we are not done alright you
need to take this really seriously if
the placebo effect is a manifestation of
patient expectation how can that work
for animals it’s not like Rufus
understands that treatment X is intended
to relieve as arthritis but a 2010 study
published in the Journal of Veterinary
internal medicine found that a placebo
treatment for canine seizures resulted
in anywhere between 26 percent and 46
percent reduction in the occurrence of
seizures we’ve only scratched the
surface on this topic but one theory
posits that the placebo effect in
animals directly relates to the
expectations of pet owners dogs are
keenly attuned to human emotion and body
language so if an owner appears
genuinely hopeful and positive around
the pet that expectation and elevated
mood can promote a sense of well-being
in the animal he’s alright he’s fine and
he’s completely unaware that anything
happened as far as he’s concerned the
trip was instantaneous
number two placebo packaging matters
especially the color you take the red
pill you stay in Wonderland and I show
you how deep the rabbit-hole goes
tricking the body into healing itself is
all about salesmanship and when it comes
to health the human brain is rife with
subconscious associations to which a
placebo drug can appeal such as color
psychology doctor telling a patient that
the drug in question will work is all
well and good but packaging is crucial
to a placebo drugs effectiveness studies
have revealed that people find blue
pills to be the most effective sedatives
whereas yellow placebos work best
against depression it was all yo
name-brand placebo pills yield better
results than generic alternatives but
different regions of the world have
unique cultural associations that can
trump these general rules again
telephone might read but they’re not
working for whatever reason instead of
calming them down blue pills really get
the blood flowing for Italian men
imagine why that is
[Applause]
number one the placebo effect has become
more effective over the years those
pills I gave you were placebos sugar
pills ha ha ha ha
maybe pharmaceutical companies have
perfected their marketing or humanity’s
faith in medicine has simply grown
stronger with the many recent
advancements whatever the reason the
effectiveness of placebo drugs is
stronger now than ever and then man said
life is hard I should start taking lots
of prescription drugs in fact American
pharmaceutical companies have recently
encountered issues new drugs are failing
their double-blind placebo trials
meaning that the placebo drug is
yielding the same or better results as
the actual drug it’s frustrating for Big
Pharma but undeniably intriguing for
progressive healthcare professionals
research doctors have even begun to
experiment or placebo surgeries to
address issues like chronic pain as
far-fetched as it may sound most evil
surgeries have yielded real results but
don’t worry
unless you’re consenting to be part of a
trial prescribing placebo treatments is
still considered far too an ethical to
be an accepted medical practice you can
dime people sugar pills it’s the only
way to know if a drug works so is the
key to health a question of mind over
matter or marketing over mind remember
all I’m offering is the truth nothing
more and have you ever experienced the
placebo effect first and for more highly
