Answer: Placebo effect

John is experiencing placebo effect where the pill that contains no pain killing medication has given pain relief to John. A placebo is a substance with no therapeutic effect but sometimes improves patient’s condition. This is due to patient’s expectation that the pill they take can help or ease the pain they have even if no active ingredient is present.

Therefore, the effect is more than positive thinking or believing that a treatment will work by creating a stronger connection between the brain and body as they work together.

For every man who has type i osteoporosis, about how many women have it? 2 3 4 6
Bond [772]
<span>The correct answer is 6.</span>  
<span>
When we compare male and female, the prevalence of osteoporosis and the rate of fractures are much higher in postmenopausal women than in men of the same age.  Because of that, this condition is often called “woman’s disease”. One of the explications is that women have smaller and thinner bones than men. Also, estrogen decreases when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss.</span>
