WARNING / DISCLAIMER

Dear Reader:

As you read The Consumer Guide to Placebos, we would like you to be open to the concept that your mind and body has the potential for remarkable self-healing power, and that the pill-taking ritual we discuss in this guide is a way to get access to that power. We do not know if any particular person will benefit from a placebo experience, but, as you are about to read, there are very safe ways to find out.

A placebo pill that contains no active ingredient is generally considered safe, yet we want to make sure you understand what The Consumer Guide to Placebos is and what it is not.
