Suffering back pain? Well. take a RED Pill and have a good lie down.

Can't sleep at night? Then BLUE PILLS should do the trick: take two just before bed. Mind you, SOME are you can take as as many as you like,

there is no chance of OVERDOSING. The tablets contain no active ingredients at all: It's their COLOURS that matter.

Some are PLACEBOS.

This is one of the stranger discoveries in medicine: NOT ONLY SUGAR PILLS act as remedies,but particular colours have been found BEST FOR PARTICULAR ALIMENTS.PINK perks people up, RED tends to rlieve pain and blue is for relaxation.

Now there's no doubt that placebos offer real relief. There's a famous story from Korean War.A battleground surgeon was suddenly incapacitated by

appendicitis while operatig. He had to continue surgery so he asked the nurse for a SHOT OF MORPHINE. he realised the drug would make him dopey

so she INJECT SALT WATER instead. without telling him.The placebo did the tric and doctor's pain wet away.

The key is to "BELIEVE" we are receiving an ACTUAL MEDICINE.

My experienced was when I had a bad cold with sore throat at night and bad coughing wake me up in the early hours.

I took my cough mixtures and back to sleep the next morning I discoverd I took the gagle solution then instead of cough mixtures.

There is all in your mine my mother's used to said sometimes even just plain flours does it jobs ha ha ha

The tric now is to work out how to turn this discovery into a useful treatment.Although that will be tricky,The peoblem with using placebos is that

they involve dishonesty with the patient,and that clashes with medical ethics.
