Answer 3

Placebo.

Glucose pills are given.

FYI - Glucose has been an identified sugar that is responsible for better brain function, so therefore... The idea of placebo being psychological is out the window once you know that.

Its not psychological when glucose is essential for proper brain function and a better sense of well being. Glucose was given to college students during testing time and those who took it had better test scores.

In affect, all glucose taking tests improve. The good news is that its without the side affects like drugs. Properly prescribed drugs are now the third leading cause of death, which is third to heart disease and cancer.

What you now know has not been taught to graduating doctors before 1996 and those who have finished their residency and practicing are treating disease with drugs which mask symptoms which cause side affects, which more drugs are used to mask those side affects and then drug interaction death.

I'd much rather take the glucose.
