Gosh I enhance my work by getting the placebo effect on my side when I'm about to work on someone that's hurting or sore.  I show them a letter from a doctor that says I cured him of back pain...You should see them relax after they read that letter.. It helps me help them.. I know it does.  Ive had that letter for years and never really thought about using it as part of their therapy.  I have a book on my kindle.  THE PLACEBO EFFECT AND HEALTH Combining Science & Compassionate Care by W. Grant Thompson.  Real interesting.
