Jeffrey, Whenever you'd like to talk....i talk placebo most of=the time....tell me. All my work and the work of my laboratory i= about placebo effects and we use a multi-discplinary approach: basic, cli=ical and social science and collaborate with the humanities (history, ethi=s, etc.) We published in these areas and have some exciting studies in the pipe=ine. We can start with a phone call or whatever. Your call.

Jeffrey and Ted,

This is an introduction of the two of you to =ach other. I think you will have a very stimulating, exciting dialogue. I =ave spoken with each of you about the other.

Jeffrey,

&nbs=;

Ted Kaptchuk is a deeply philosophical scientist. Placebo research ha= 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 o= setting up a placebo research center at Harvard--where he has been on the=faculty for > 10 years, principally affiliated with their Osher Ce=ter for Research in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He wrote = wonderful book, The Web That Has No Weaver, abou= trad Chinese medicine, as the 2nd practitioner to visit China after the t=aw in the 70s. 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
