>because pharma isn't going to fund research on improving the efficacy of placebo... for obvious reasons...

I doubt pharma is at the forefront of this research, but we do know how to improve the power of placebos. The best way seems to be to inject them! Inject them and tell the person the are receiving something powerful.

Now a question....

How would you feel about receiving a placebo injection for a mental health problem? Ethical issues?
