Placebo: The Science of Hope
This fascinating documentary explores the mysterious and controversial powers of the placebo – often called sugar, or dummy, pills. Placebos work in all sorts of illnesses, with documented proof that patients get better. Why do they get better? Belief and hope. A comforting touch of a physician or a kind word may become as integral to the healing process as the written prescription.
Placebo: the Science of Hope examines the legitimacy of this phenomenon, exploring its history, techniques, and results — and how its benefits can be integrated into the current healthcare system and approach to patient treatment.
Viewers find out what evidence there is for how the placebo effect might, in fact, work. Is there scientific proof of an internal healing power? If so, how can we use it?
Through interviews with eminent experts in psychology, psychiatry, medicine, as well as with medical historians and researchers, viewers gain insight into the placebo’s potent but debatable process and practice.
The curse of drug companies could also be the remedy that heals.
Placebo: The Science of Hope offers an in-depth look.
