Drop the red pills

For some reason, studies are showing that the great cure for every disease, the placebo, is becoming more effective.

Most interesting, is the revelation that some types of placebos are more effective than others - for example, your yellow sugar pill will help you overcome depression better than other coloured placebos, and white pills are the choice for helping with your stomach problem.

On the subject of placebos, some experts are saying that the use of a chemical dispersant is having a similar miraculous effect on an oil spill way out in the Timor Sea.
