The placebo effect yields beneficial clinical results in 60-90% of diseases that include angina pectoris, bronchial asthma, herpes simplex, and duodenal ulcer. Three components bring forth the placebo effect: (a) positive beliefs and expectations on the part of the patient; (b) positive beliefs and expectations on the part of the physician or health care professional; and (c) a good relationship between the two parties. Because of the heavily negative connotations of the very words "placebo effect, " the term should be replaced by "remembered wellness." Remembered wellness has been one of medicine's most potent assets and it should not be belittled or ridiculed. Unlike most other treatments, it is safe and inexpensive and has withstood the test of time.
安慰剂效应在60%至90%的疾病中产生有益的临床效果，这些疾病包括心绞痛、支气管哮喘、单纯疱疹和十二指肠溃疡。安慰剂效应由三个因素产生：（a）患者自身的积极信念和期望；（b）医生或医护人员的积极信念和期望；（c）双方之间良好的关系。由于“安慰剂效应”这个词带有很强的负面含义，应该用“记忆中的健康”来取代。记忆中的健康一直是医学最强大的资产之一，不应被轻视或嘲笑。与大多数其他治疗方法不同，它安全且廉价，并经受住了时间的考验。
