Thanks Maggie for sharing that link. I was very intrigued by that study when it came out and have been disappointed that attempts to replicate it with different populations have failed. I don’t know if the original success has to do with the intensity of the participant’s work activity, or something the cleaning staff did that other research groups’ participants didn’t, or what. But in general I think mindset matters and wish we knew more about how to harness the placebo effect.
