Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Superstitious people who believe in the power of supernatural events or objects may also believe in the power of placebos, which can have a psychological effect on the body. Placebos are substances that are not pharmacologically active but can create a placebo effect, which is a positive therapeutic response. Therefore, they may be particularly open to the effects of placebos. Adulterated drugs, drugs offered by strangers, and hormone-related substances are not necessarily related to superstition or belief in supernatural events.
