I don't know how to write math symbols on this board.
I mean that as the number of trials increases, the placebo effect asymptotically approaches zero.
also, separate issue, I think there is just a distribution of p eople.
on the lucky end, people resonsive to just about anything.
some resond to anything serotonerigic.
some only resond to a certain class, like sris.
some need 5ht plus NE
some don't respond to anyting in current aresnal.
i don't think the immune system could even become sensitized to most drug molecules, i think it has to be a larger protein for an antibody to work, though i'm not sure.
