Dear Jeffrey,

I wanted to update you on our placebo initiative at Harvard. &nbs=;I've been asked to start a Harvard-wide Program in Placebo Studies which =ill be hosted at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Jeffrey,

He can send you studies, etc. if you would like. =

## Ted,

Jeffrey is a very successful investor. But the =eason I am recommending he talk with you is that he has a brilliant =cientific 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 b=lieve in and use homeopathy)

I think the two of you will enjoy each other's minds, and possibl= come up with some very interesting ideas for future research. &nb=p; Best,

Woody
