Dear Jeffrey,
I wanted to update
you on our
placebo initiative
at Harvard. I've
been asked to start
a Harvard-wide
Program in
Placebo Studies
which will be
hosted at the Beth
Israel Deaconess
Medical Center.
It will do basic,
clinical and social
science research as
well as scholarly
work in placebo
studies. We are
situated in all the
major teaching
hospitals at
Harvard and have
already drawn
commitments from
over 20 faculty.
Anne Harrington
will be joining us.
We recently
published an
physiological study
of placebo in the
New England
Journal of
EFT&R1_00538280
EFTA02029305
Medicine and a
theoretical paper
in Philosophic
Transactions of the
Roy Soc B. (Pm
attaching fyi). We
anticipate making
some major
breakthroughs in
genetic of placebo
effects (we're
submitting our
findings in the next
days) and have
major studies in
the pipeline.
We're hoping that
this program will
establish Placebo
Studies as a
important
component of
medical research
internationally.
Here is our new
website:
www.programinpl
acebostudies.org.
Let me know if
this is of any
interest for you.
Sincerely,
Ted

c:
Jeffrey and Ted,
This is an introduction of the two of you to each
other. I think you will have a very stimulating,
exciting dialogue. I have spoken with each of you
about the other.
Jeffrey,
Ted Kaptchuk is a deeply philosophical scientist.
Placebo research has been his special interest for
a decade (and Chinese Medicine before that--in
addition I am sure to many others). He is actually
in the process now of setting up a placebo
research center at Harvard--where he has been
on the faculty for > 10 years, principally affiliated
with their 0sher Center for Research
in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He
wrote a wonderful book, The Web That Has No
Weaver, about trad Chinese medidne, as the 2nd
practitioner to visit China after the thaw in the
70s. He can send you studies, etc. if you would
like.
Ted,
Jeffrey is a very successful investor. But the
reason I am recommending he talk with you is
that he has a brilliant scientific mind, is very
interested in research and recently he has taken a
keen interest in some far-reaching questions
about the implications of the placebo
response. (partly stemming out of his surprise
that i would believe in and use homeopathy)
I think the two of you will enjoy each other's
EFTA_R1_00538286
EFTA02029311
minds, and possibly come up with some very
interesting ideas for future research.
Best,
Woody
