If the placebo effect works by tricking the brain, why does it need to be tricked if it’s apparently able to solve the issue on its own?

The only real answer is we don’t know. We don’t know why some people get better who shouldn’t statistically speaking while getting fake medicines. It is not what others have said that people often get better . It’s that if you give 500 people no medicine and 500 others fake medicine there should not be a difference in how many of them heal. In practice for some reason there is one, and we don’t really know why.if you google it you will find lots of theories but there isn’t a universally accepted one.
