Ok, as above, there are cases of the placebo effect with Alzheimer’s drugs in testing. Well and good — but only for six weeks.

Perhaps Anavex 2-73 has a future as a drug test placebo. Instead of using plain old sugar, use Anavex 2-73, the best placebo on the planet. Every time it’s been used in humans, they have reduced or stabilized symptoms, for lengthy, apparently uninterrupted periods.
