I have heard a couple nurses admit they know they were giving people sugar pills. Doctors do prescribe placebo's as far as I have been told, they don't want people to know that though.Josh wrote:Doctors do not prescribe placebos.QuietObserver wrote:Placebos are scientific. Scientists may be able to predict who will experience the placebo effect. Our minds do affect how we experience the world. This has been researched and documented in many different fields. For example, food packaging affects how the food inside the packaging tastes.
I always thought placebos were used for research. I wasn't aware of family doctors prescribing placebos. Is this a thing?
I don't think placebos belongs on Roger's list. But even so, I don't think he was intending his list to be comprehensive.
When testing a new drug, some people will be given placebos and some will be given the drug. The drug company is upfront and honest about this - but the patients don’t know which one they are getting. Then the drug company has to figure out if their drug works better than a placebo.
I still stand that the world of conventional medicine enforces dishonesty. In Canada it is illegal for them to tell you the ingredients in your children's vaccines. So they can't even tell you why there is anti-freeze, mercury, formaldehyde, polysorbates, etc., etc. in these things. They are not even allowed to be honest why they put drops in your babies eyes. And on and on.
So why do some many jump on the band wagon against alternative medicine and not say a word about the lying in conventional medicine?
Is witchcraft worse than lying?
Answer:
Revelation 21:8
Sorcery and lying are listed in the scripture here together as both worthy of the lake of fire.But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
