The Placebo and Nocebo effects are basically "stupid 'umies" unconsciously using Waagh energy from the Warhammer universes.

  Its only Waagh of it comes from the Waagh Region of the Warp.

  The pills take effect faster if they’re red.

    No joke, the color actually matters.

  Regardless of the Warhammer stuff, the craziest shit differentiates the two.

  Obviously one is good, and one is bad.

  But being informed of the nocebo effect completely negates it. For placebo there is zero effect if you’re made aware of the placebo effect before.

  Also, there’s a generic predisposition to the placebo effect, and it doesn’t even matter if it’s true.
