Wow…that’s a helluva read.
What I’m interested in was briefly touched upon in that article and that’s the possibility of medication that combines both pharmaceutical responses and the placebo effect.
I forget how good writing can be when I read only NZ publications.

I found this GQ piece on Michael Jackson to be very good journalism as well -
