These improvements observed in tens of clinical tests, is the basis for the universal statement that energizers work. But when Kirsh has compared improvements at the patients accepting medicines with results of treatment of those who accepted tablets-baby’s dummies – during clinical researches usually lead comparison of an experimental preparation with a placebo – he has found out that the difference was insignificant. At the patients accepting a placebo, improvements approximately for 77 percent, concerning those who used medicines were observed. Differently, three quarters of advantage of energizers, the effect placebo makes. “We guessed, what happens?” Reminds Kirsh who in works now University of Hull in England. “After all it should be wonderful preparations with improbable effect”.
What influence has rendered research? The number of the Americans accepting energizers, has doubled for one decade from 13,7 million in 1994 to 24 million in 2006. More
