Claims for alternative and complementary remedies in healthcare have always been undercut by the fact that, whatever they are, they are not shown effective in double blind placebo-controlled studies, the touchstone of clinical research. Adherents have often reached to outlandish and tortured explanations of why the failure of empirical validation is irrelevant, often using quasi-mystical pseudoscientific applications of quantum uncertainty. Here we learn that, because of quantum entanglement, the placebo and the active treatment get enmeshed, as do the observer/investigator and the experimental subjects. So there is no such thing as either placebo-controlled or double-blind, Virginia. (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine – 12(3):271)
