Placebo effect in Allergy and Asthma


In Japan, to allergic people to a poisonous ivy an arm with the plant rubbed to them saying that she was innocuous and the other arm with an inoffensive ivy assuring that was poisonous. The 13 patients had sarpullidos in the arm rubbed with the inoffensive plant and only two presented/displayed reactions to the poisonous ivy. Far from to reframe their attitude towards the patient, those in favor of the pro-government medicine find in these results a confirmation on their accusations to the natural or alternative medicine of benefitting from the effect placebo.
