Interesting story. It's been documented but is a source of controversy:

"One of the most remarkable accounts of the placebo effect is that of Dr Bruno Klopfer and Mr Wright, a cancer patient who had only a few weeks to live. Dr Klopfer treated Mr Wright with an experimental cancer drug called Krebiozen. Shortly after being injected with the drug, the patient's tumour masses "melted like snowballs on a hot stove". A few months later, however, when the newspapers published the results showing that the drug was worthless, Mr Wright's tumours appeared again."

"Suspecting that Mr Wright's belief in the drug had caused his previous recovery, Dr Klopfer told Mr Wright that he was going to give him a double strength of a more active form of the drug, but in reality the injections simply contained distilled water. Again the tumours disappeared and Mr Wright was healthy for two more months."

"Then the newspapers published a story about the worthlessness of the drug, this time without any doubt. After reading this story, Mr Wright's tumours reappeared and he died within two days."

The original story appeared in Psychological Variables in Human Cancer, Brono Klopfer, Journal of Prospective Techniques 31, 1957, pp. 331-40.)

The FORCES site will have new information on Jan. 15th. They're taking a well-deserved break.

In other words, BUMP.
