Traditionally, some textbooks from the United States used a system of six kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea/Archaeabacteria, and Bacteria/Eubacteria) while textbooks in Great Britain, India, Australia, Latin America and other countries used five kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista and Monera).
For other uses, see Placebo (disambiguation) and Placebo effect (disambiguation). The placebo effect can be produced by inert tablets, by sham surgery, and by false information, such as when electrical stimulation is turned off in those with Parkinson's disease implanted brain electrodes.
One irony in all of this, of course, is that even if there are millions of Herbalife fans paying for and using the company's Cell Activators and Male Factor 1000 pills, those people might just be paying for the placebo effect.
