Craig, thanks for the url. That was very interesting to read. I am curious though--what do you think about this subject? Some people argue that evidence of faith healing, and miracles, are proof that God exists. To me, they are evidence of the strength of the human soul, and of how little we still know yet of all the healing mechanisms of the body, affected very strongly by the mind's will.

I posted this comment about the NYT placebo article on the Midnight Blues Cafe thread yesterday. I mention what seemed to me the most interesting comment in the article. Fascinating! To: Solon (48 ) From: E Sunday, Oct 18 1998 12:41PM ET Reply #49 of 49 I can't find the Science Times section of the NYTimes for last Tuesday, but it said something that seemed amazing to me. I guess I could go to NYT on the net for the interesting details, but instead I'll just say what I remember. . The subject was the placebo effect. And this is the factoid: There is a drug called Naxolone, I believe it was, that blocks the analgesic effect of morphine. And... it also blocks the analgesic effect of a placebo. ! ------ Previous
