There is research out there that shows that there is a physiological
response to placebo, that's why it is not really no effect! For example the

endorphin levels rose.  When he/she gave them the opioid agonist, they
fell!  Our brain is in so much more control that we think.

*Joy doesn't betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics
