- Abstract
Myths are difficult to encounter with the scientific evidences as they sound true by means of belief in aspects of real world but are misleading when rigorously interrogated with scientific methodologies. Placebo a term which is used in many pseudo facts so called scientific articles still persist to be a booming topic of concerned in this so called scientific world. Past historic facts of epidemic have encountered the dreadful controversy of credibility of researchers for their efforts put forth in gaining the noble prize or scientific achievements in their domain of work. In the year 1854, John Snow had been widely credited for decline the epidemic cases of cholera. He considered the disease prevalent among Londoners who had witness the water consumed through well supplied company and not among the well of another company (1). In this scenario he nullified the offending pump statements, while simultaneously there was decrease in the cases of cholera. Snow's effects for establishing the cause cholera had little effect on the epidemic course. Similarly, some previous published fact for homoeopathic treatment consider as placebo effects in controlled clinical trial had been a dark shade of spoofing the so called popularity against the scientific treatments (2). Decades after researchers had documented the scientific facts of nullifying the placebo effects to therapeutic effects by reconsidering the controlled trails and proved the pseudo facts by considering paucity of clinical trial data while interpreting the meta-analysis studies of it (3-4).
