    What’s really crazy is that sometimes the placebo can still bring people relief even after knowing that it’s a placebo

      Yeah. Though you ethically can’t try to use placebo as a medical treatment, because it’s inconsistent in whether it does anything and is essentially trying to not treat the patient at all with known methods of treatment.
