i didnt mean that the maxolon itself was a placebo drug (ie sugar pill). what i was trying to say was the main reason it works is because people think it should work - in other words it has a placebo effect.
they figure this out by doing double blind studies - where they give people who are nauseous a pill and tell them it is something for the nausea, but in fact it is only a sugar pill. these people say they feel better at about the same rate as people who actually do get maxolon.
does that make sense?
anyway, as i said before - if it works, then who cares if it is your head talking you into it or whether it is actually making a difference!
good luck clare, hopefully this time you will feel sick for less long - i certainly did..
