Narcotics are a privileged family of medications. The brain produces fairly simple compounds (sparingly and under proper duress) which mimic the actions of opium's actives. Shock, trance and a few other states of mind/body can conjure these endogenous opioids. So the wet towel action of naloxone (which is an opioid antagonist of comprehensively broad spectrum) makes sense to me. I'll bet aborting the placebo effect is harder to do when there isn't a defined, subjectively activated biochemical detour. That cancer guy is a stumper. The really maddening thing about placebo effect, healing thoughts etc. is how inconsistent and irreproducible they are. On a final sour note - id cacao contained naloxone, I'd bet 500 million affluent consumers would look at chocolate and say "waht's the point?".
