About

Brewing up our latest placebo.
Placebo Labs was founded in 2005 to investigate the application of placebos to solve all of the world’s problems, or at least all of the little ones that seems so annoying. Â Our scientists (and, we use that word with some reservations) have spent their lives investigating the useful properties of the so-called “Placebo Effect” and ways to make a buck off it.

A man, taking a placebo.
While the mechanism behind the so-called “placebo effect” isn’t entirely understood by modern science, one thing is clear – it’s quite possible to make a bunch of money off it.  Selling a product which has no known medicinal effect means that the whole messy process of animal and human testing can be entirely avoided, as well as waiting for government approval.  Products can be designed in the morning and on the market by that afternoon.

Members of our research staff have trained at some of what some consider the most advanced research institutions in this and other countries. Â They also drank a lot, especially on weekends, but that doesn’t have a lot to do with their qualifications so we shall mention it no further. Â They also watch a lot of television and surf the internet for hours and hours each day, searching for new maladies and conditions for which a placebo may just be the best answer.
