Peggy -
Did anyone challenge Mike McDermott on his your reply to your question about sub groups, "if the sampling was large enough it would take care of such discrepancies." ?? Seems like a pretty big "if" to me. Aren't we having trouble getting enough people in the trials anyway? I thought that was the whole point of the problem; sub groups were skewing the results because the whole group was small. And how can "such discrepancies" be accounted for if we don't even know how many sub groups to account for? Lazy science. We'll keep having failures at this rate.

Question? I can't recall if the placebo effect can be long term. I think it was in some cases, but I don't know how common that is. Thinking of that brain surgery where some people just got a hole in their heads!
