In drug trials the doctors are relationally distanced from the patients or in other words the experiments are double blinded because they were trying to get rid of the problem of placebo in the group getting the drug because through ESP, which is at a premium in relationship, the patients knew that they were given a drug.
​
Can you either rewrite this line or break it down? Not sure what you are trying to say.
​
How is it the people receiving the drug knew they were getting the drug? ESP? ESP from whom?

More thoughts
Remember patients in drug trials have a desperate need to get well and this is a strong motivating force to make such a choice. That choice creates a placebo effect in no matter what they are given.
Do you think the only drug tests are for life saving drugs?
​
Was there a "desperate need" during testing of viagra? I have been in a few drug trials for high blood pressure meds. I had no "desperate need". There was no affect on my life at all.
​
I think this argument is just a load of hooey.
