▶ Your Answer : In the lecture, the professor
is rebutting the passage which disapproves the effectiveness of
placebo effect has asserted.
First of all, contrary to the
passage which emphasizes the methodological errors
that early researchers of placebo effect have made, the professor argues that
placebo effect is still valid in these days. It is true that ancient
researchers of the effect like Dr. Henry Beecher omitted patients with no
treatment in his article, which is a detrimental error in the point of the
modern research method. However, even with the help of it, the placebo is
concluded to be effective for patients. For example, a sugar pill with no
medicine was prescripted to a group of patients who were diagnosed with a
chronic syndrome. In this research, the conductor added another group with
no remedies to satisfy the standard of the modern-day methodology.
Compared to the counterpart, it is found that placebo is significantly helpful
for relieving the symptoms of this syndrome, making the placebo a valid
ramification even with the contemporary way of research.
Secondly, aside from the
passage which emphasizes that lifestyle changes rather than the
fact that placebo played an important role in curing diseases
like heart attack, professor contradicts it by stressing
that there are ramifications which proves
that placebo is more beneficial than the transformation of lifestyle.
For instance, placebos are bestowed to people with depression. At last, it is proved
that those with fake pills have shown better objective standard of vital sign,
better brain images and blood flows.
In conclusion, professor
opposes the passage which questioned the reliability of placebo effect, adding
that placebo is still valid in terms of the research method of these days and
changes of one's lifestyle.
