More than two hours later, specialist alpine troops had to ski and snowshoe more than five miles through a blizzard. They found rooms and corridors clogged with snow and debris. But no one called out for help. The only sound was rescue workers scrambling through the devastation. Heavy snowfall cut off the only road to the hotel. The rescue effort turned into a seemingly endless s sunny plow. The hotel is 55 miles from the epicenter of a series of earthquakes and aftershocks that battered the region since august.

In the modern era, we cant avoid them. Their images are everywhere. They are part of our lives. I Barack Hussein obama. For me the enduring images of barack obama came in those first minutes as president. When millions of people, probably the Largest Group ever to descend on washington saw americas first black president sworn into office. So help you god. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. Whether you were democrat or fopublican, whether you voted r him or not, when you saw the not to feel the country had done a good thing. As modern president s do, he want on to share our best of times, victories small and large. The United States has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. He was there to share our worst days, pictures forever etched in our hearts and minds. Every time i think about those kids. He had accomplishments to be proud of, getting people back to work for one thing. But many times few things went his way. Some real collaboration. He showed so little zest for the give and take in deal making that legislating required. I wruonce asked him if he likeds job. He was ready for the question. Let me tell you, bob, i love this job. Reporter saddled with an oversized unrealistic list of expectations and promises he was assigned superhero status before even settling in. He won the nobel pce of note. Maybe not surprising, since he was the one who said yes, we can. Reporter beyond what he did or didnt do, i keep thinking back to the first minutes of his presidency. Maybe thats when we saw his real legacy. After that, africanamerican grandmothers could finally say to their grandsons and granddaughters, what my granny said to me.

A hallmark of american democracy on display today in washington as donald trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The peaceful transfer of power was once unique to this nation.

Mike pence is gearing up for the biggest day of his political life when he is sworn in as Vice President of the United States. Mr. Pence is slated to be the trump administrations liaison to congress and he sat down for a chat with our charlie rose. As you know, you enter this white house and this city with the lowest Approval Ratings of any person who has assumed the challenge is that . And at the same time, how important is to double the efforts to reunite . I think the American People are going to see a president in august rate e inaugurated who is going to keep the promise. The polls werent always right during the election year, im skeptical of the polls going into inauguration. I can tell you the president elect, our whole team are ready to go to work and really, just, advance the kind of policies that, that to borrow his phrase will make America Great again. You have been asked this before, i am sure. The tweets, are they a necessary, b, distracting, does he have to tilt at every windmill that criticizes him . I think one of the really refreshing things about the president elect is that he speaks his mind. And sometimes he does that from a podium. Sometimes he does that in a interview. Some times heap does it on twitter. I dont believe it does. I really dont believe it does. You are okay with that . I will tell you that some of the treatment that he has gotten and that we frankly continue to get by some in the media is is frustrating and his ability to literally reach tens of millions of people with his view of a particular issue or a particular news i think is of value to the administration. I expect him to continue to use that. Former president , george h. W. Bush remains hospitalized in hueton. Sti houston. Doctors hope to move him to a regular room in a couple days. As the for wife barbara in hospital, she is said to be feeling 100 better. He is stable now. Resting comfortably in the icu. He is going to stay there for observation. President bush is recovering from what spokesman jim mcgraph described as an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia. Doctors president wednesday for a procedure to protect and clear his airway. There is not a lot of money to be made betting against george bush. Mcgraph says the 92yearold its a fighter. It is a serious situation. He is 92. He has pneumonia. In the icu. Again you, dont bet against george bush. Reporter the former president hasnt let his age slow him down. He jumped out of an airplane for his 90th birthday. But this is the fourth hospital stay in five years. He is suffering from a disease similar to parkinsons limited his mobility. President bush sent president elect trump a note apologizing that neither he nor his wife would attend the inauguration. My doctor says if i sit outside in january, it will likely put me six feet under, same for barbara, before wishing the president elect well. On wednesday mr. Trump responded with a tweet of support for the couple and thanked the former president for the wonderful right back. Mom, i just saved a lot of money on my Car Insurance by switching to geico.

Two sensations that work together, so you can play together. During his eight years in office, president obama has received literally millions of letters. Some are funny. Some are sad. And some are downright angry. But nearly all of them get read. From the start of his administration, mr. Obama has instructed his staff to bring him a daily dose of the correspondence to wrap up his day. You know i get a lot of letters from constituents, i get 40,000 every day. I dont read all 40,000. Somebody does. For the past eight years, one of those somebody has been fiona reeves. I lead one, it said on the envelope, alert, do theest baby photo ever inside. As direct ore of president ial team that looks at every single letter, email, and facebook message sent to the white house. About 10 million a year. All those people who selfidentify as little old me, this is their entry point. In his first week, president obama asked for something other president s have not. To read some of the letters every night. The ask was for ten that were representative, and he was really clear about the the point that it shouldnt be ten fan letters. Reporter reeves reads 200 to 400 finalists a day before selecting ten r the briefing book. Not an easy thing to do when the content of the letters is searing and personal. Yeah, it can be it can be emotionally draining. People are often reaching out to the president as a last resort. Reporter the letters arent fact checked. In this tradition, feelings matter more. Its powerful because of what it conveys about your voice, or you know what you have been we have received letters from veterans who who are writing in a writing style that can be stream of conscious not. That makes it so much more powerful. Reporter over the years some of the letters have been sweet. She set up a vegetable garden. He sent me a picture. Reporter others have been funny. One was i am retired. I have some advice for you. Ride your bike a lot. Spend time with your wife. Draw. And then it said, dont be afraid today drink. And i just thought that was pretty good. Reporter many are critical. Sometime the letter say you are an idiot. And the worst president ever. Reporter do you ever feel like he had a bad few days needs uplifting letters. We do feel like when we are giving him a bunch of letters that have tough stuff in them, particularly a friday, we should throw in a tenth letter we some times refer to as the a chaser. That will be like a kid letter. Reporter chaser to make the hard stuff go down off a yeah. President obama reads his letters and often responds. Dear stephen, thank you for your letter. We are proud of you keep up the great work. Reporter philadelphia native, Stephen Johnson graduate student at Oxford University in england. Thank you, president obama. Reporter in high school he wrote the president a letter thanking him for being an inspiration. The president s reply inspired him even more. Even though the letter was short, and the number of words, probably are the most profound word ever addressed to me before. Reporter reeves has seen an uptick in praise for the president all. Thank you for standing up for women. As more people write to say goodbye. Off awe i will regard you as my president , you were the president who believed in me. Reporter later today she will select the final ten letters, president obama will read in office. What do you hope the president walks away with . I hope that he, and the country, walk away with all of these le engaged and like their government hears them they can help shape their government. I think thats what he leaves in our country. I hope he walks away feeling pretty good about that. Of course, too late to rush off a letter to president obama, he is only going to be at the white house a couple more hours. But even yesterday, his staff was going through emails for him to read last night. So if you sent an email, it may just have reached him. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Living well come on up, grandpa dont let joint discomfort keep you down. Come play with us im coming. Upgrade to move free ultras triple action joint support for improved mobility, and flexibility. Than glucosamine chondroitin, get in there with move free ultra, and enjoy living well. Living well much of medical research relies on placebos as a baseline. Some of the patients get the real drug. Some get a pill with nothing in it. Researchers compare the results. But what if the people getting the fake drug start Getting Better . Its called the placebo effect. Suzanne spencer has the story. Ready for the big meeting . Yeah. Hello . A meeting. A big one. Diarrhea, abdominal pain. You may know it from those mildly embarrassing tv ads. When my ibs flares up. A sharp pain like a punch to my daily life. She struggled with ibs, Irritable Bowel Syndrome for two decades. Its horrible. Some times i could be fast asleep and wake up out of a dead sleep at 6 00 in the morning and keel over in pain. Reporter desperate for relief, she immediately seend up for a study at bostons beth israel deaconess center. Made an appointment. Came home with fingers crossed. And three week supply of pills. The results seemed miraculous. As the the days went on after a week i kept feeling better, belter. Now i am thinking what is in this . Reporter what was the special something in those pills . It was drum roll absolutely nothing. Linda was taking placebos like these. With no real medication in them at all. What makes her story even more astonishing, linda was told she was taking placebos. I remember took tip. Why am i taking this. Like a waste of my time. When i saw that i felt better, i am thinking maybe he just told me it was a placebo and it is a new medication theyre trying out didnt want me to know. Ted capchick, a professor at Harvard Medical School ran the. What did your colleagues initially think . Everyone thought it was crazy at the beginning. Reporter but it worked. He says roughly 60 of the subjects in his study, reported Getting Better. Even though they knew they were taking a placebo. A placebo is an inert substance, cellose, starch, sugar, the placebo effect is everything that surround that pill, the interaction between patient, doctor, nurse. The symbols, the rituals. Those are powerful forces. Doctors have understood the power of placebos at least since they were used in Clinical Trials in the 50s. But fake certain cases. There are a lot of illnesses you dont give placebos, cancer, lowering cholesterol. The scope where the placebo effect is relevant is any sim bomb th bomb sim bomb t bombsymptom, the brain can modulate. Making an appointment. Going to the doctor. Taking a pill suggests something may happen. 35 of the time people will report symptom relief from taking a substance that is not biologically active. People will. Very impressive. Dr. Arthur barsky, psychiatrist at brigham hospital in boston. He said people even report side effects from placebos. Clearly we are highly suggestible creatures. There are sftudies, asthma, you can provoke an asthma attack by showing some o that theyre allergic to in a sealed jar. I had a patient who had allergic dermatitis to cats, saw the scat on the television screen, and started to itch. Aware of the power of the mind, as many as half of all american doctors admit to having prescribed some form of placebo. Akccording to a 2008 study. There are a lot of things that we do that are not directly curative that make a difference. Prescribing vitamin fills. Iron pills. Cold packs. Heat packs. Antibiotics for a viral infection bah the patient really wants it. Not just that the patient imagines feeling better. People who responded to placebo treatment who were in pain, we actually see part of the main matrix being activated that would change the send sags of pain. Just the act of taking a pill, each a fact one, can coax the brain into producing its own helpful chemicals. In fact, we know tha the pill in the context of the health care encounter, activates neurotransmilters. Something chemically is happening. Amazing to me. It is really amazing to me. I have been in the business a long time. I know that the phenomenon of my patients changing by vir schu of nothing else than their expectations is real. This neurologist at university of cincinnati, specializes in parkinsons disease. Drugs used in parkinsons help the brain make dopamine, turns out placebos do too. This can be measured, measurable changes within the brain . Very much soap. Zdepression comes with it. Bob walton lived with parkinsons a decade. The doctor enrolled him in a study supposely comparing an expensive drug to a i actually felt a little belter after ive got the expensive one. Guess what . He did an interview, an hour and a half after it was over. They were both saline. Both. There was no price difference at all. So, we have twice as much improvement if i think it costs a lot. Exactly. Of not only did the supposedly expensive drug do twice the job, it did just as well as a real parkinsons drug. So they thought that because it was expensive, it has how to be good . Correct. That ha lalone can affect th physiologically . It does. The lesson here says the doctor, when patients believe in their mef medications those medications just may work better. To do your experiment, you had to mislead people . I did. How did you feel about that . Terrible. In fact, outside of Clinical Trials like the doctors, the frowns on deception in treating patients. Patients cannot be given ape placebo without informed consent and told clearly transparent leap what it is. Given lindas succession with placebos for her ibs it may not matter if patients know. Which raises an interesting question. I think the next step is, how do we concretely use placebo effects in clinical practice. There are some ways in which we may not see the patient but still get the benefit. You tell the patient we will give you the active medicine. Some days you get a placebo. If that were to work, you would lessen the chance of addiction, tolerance, its cheaper. Meanwhile, lindas symptoms are back full force. But, she has an appointment with professor capchick. Im possibly going to go on placebos again and see what happens. Seems so strange to hear some body i am i know, i am about to start not only Inauguration Day in washington, it is also moving day. While mr. Obama attends the swearing in of donald trump, theyll be in a mad rush to get the obama belongings out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue and all the trump family stuff in. Chip reid now on how this dance takes place. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. As the nation focuses on the transition of power outside of the capitol building, a whirlwind of activity taking place at the white house as staffers remake the home for the incoming first family. They literally move all of your stuff out in one day. You are living there, and then suddenly, this, its not all out on the side lawn, i mean they pack it up. There is fiv organized chaos at the white house. Kate Anderson Brower covers president ial transitions in her book inside the private world of the white house. Residence staffers, moving mattresses and, head boards, and dressers, and putting framed photographs on dressers. And making sure that the house is absolutely perfect for the new family. Reporter while the trumps will half free rein to redirect the private office and the oval office, much of the white house will remain unchanged. Be true to the history of the white house. The bottom line. Brad blakeman former Deputy Assistant to george w. Bush. Dwight eisenhower put the putting grind the south lawn. President bush put in a horseshoe pit. There are tweaks you can do. The history of the white house will not change. Reporter the move is an emotional time for the white house staff and the first family as laura bush explaned to charlie rose. Ill miss it i mean i will miss this magnificent house that we have had the chance to live in. The staff that work here. A similar feeling for Michelle Obama who wednesday posted to instagram her final walk through the white house. I find myself choking up because we have raised our kids in the white house. We have had so many amazing experiences. We are going to be walking away from all of that. The obamas wont be going far, renting a house less than two miles from here. While sasha finishes high school. And school is also affecting the moving plans of melaina trump. Spending most of her time in new york while 10yearold son baron finishes the school year. Thats the overnight news for inauguration friday. For some the news continues. For others check back later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning.

Also tonight, rick perrys change of heart about the agency that once slipped his mind. I regret recommending its elimination. An avalanche in italy and the frantic search for survivors. And, women head to washington to celebrate and to protest. If i am not doing something, i am going crazy. This is the cbs overnight news. Reporting tonight from washington. At noon today, eastern time, donald trump will be president. Last night at the Lincoln Memorial mr. Trump promised to create jobs, expand the military, secure the border and unite the country. He flew here from new york city yesterday, this time aboard a plane that bore not his name, but the nations. He is still working on the inaugural address that he will deliver back there at the capital. Here is our chief white house correspondent, major garrett. Reporter first by car then on a military plane that soared over the new york city skyline, donald trump and his family made their way to washington, upon arrival mr. Trump saluted the troops he will soon command as the 45th president of the United States. Vice president elect mike pence. It is a momentous day before an historic day. The president elects first stop in the Nations Capital was a lunch at his own hotel. This is a gorgeous room. A total genius must have built it. [ taps plays ] later the president elect and Vice President elect paid solemn tribute at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National cemetery, a preinauguration tradition. Mr. Trump and incoming first lady melania then attended a concert at the Lincoln Memorial. And i promise you that i will work so hard. We are going to get it turned around. We are going t bring our jobs back. We are not going to let other countries take our jobs any longer. Earlier the trump transition in need of experienced personnel in key posts announced that 50 senior level Obama Administration aides have agreed to stay on board. They include, adam szubin, obama advisers at center of strategy to defeat isis, implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal and sanctions against russia. Incoming White House Press secretary, sean spicer. There are limitations to what some of the individuals can do in terms of enacting the agenda, but in terms of being ready to go and being able to respond to an incident, we are ready to go at 12 01 tomorrow. The president elect announced one of his biggest donors and owners of the new york jets, Woody Johnson will be the u. S. Ambassador to great britain. As is tradition, mr. Trump and his family will spend tonight at blair house across the street from the white house before coming here to be sworn in on the west front of the capitol. Major garrett before the stage stage where donald trump will be sworn in. Major, thank you. For their part, democrats in the senate are tapping the brakes on several cabinet nominations. Today they raised objections to the former governor of texas who its to head the energy department. And, to a wall street financier. Nominated to lead treasury. Nancy cordes at the capitol. I have been trying to get my arms around the web of Bank Accounts and shell companies. Reporter after 15 consend us confirmation hearings, tempers have begun to fray. Senator, i have got a valium pill here that you might want to take before the second round. We have many colleagues waiting im done. Source of the tension is this. Eight nominees who democrats say need to be vetted more thoroughly. How long do you think you can drag this process out . First we are not trying to drag anything out. These cabinet nominees have huge, huge say over the lives of republicans say democrats are trumping up ethics concerns for political effect. Delay for delay sake doesnt serve anybodys interest. To days target treasury secretary nominee so you helped others. I am not going to make a comment. They didnt avoid. They followed the law. Reporter democrats slammed the billionaire banker for leaving a few key details off his Financial Disclosure forms. The Cayman Island fund. Almost 100 million of real estate. Six shell companies. And a hedge fund in anguilla. Former executive said it was an honest mistake. I think as you can appreciate, filling out the government forms is quite complicated. By contrast the hearing for former Texas Governor rick perry. May i rephrase that, sir. Seemed downright cordial though he once proposed abolishing the agency he now wants to lead.

Have you told him it might be better for you if he didnt exaggerate . He has been successful as a negotiator and businessman. I dont tell him what to do. He does very well on his own.

More than two hours later, specialist alpine troops had to ski and snowshoe more than five miles through a blizzard. They found rooms and corridors clogged with snow and debris. But no one called out for help. The only sound was rescue workers scrambling through the devastation. Heavy snowfall cut off the only road to the hotel. The rescue effort turned into a seemingly ens sunny plow. The hotel is 55 miles from the epicenter of a series of earthquakes and aftershocks that battered the region since august.

But he has covered 10 president s and he is going on 11. Bob. Thank you, scott. In the early days, most americans never saw their president s or even their likenesses. In the modern era, we cant avoid them. Their images are everywhere. They are part of our lives. I Barack Hussein obama. For me the enduring images of barack obama came in those first minutes as president. When millions of people, probably the Largest Group ever esto dcend on washington saw americas first black president sworn into office. So help you god. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. W republican, whether you voted for him or not, when you saw the joy in those faces, it was hard not to feel the country had done a good thing. As modern president s do, he want on to share our best of times, victories small and large. The United States has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. He was there to share our worst days, pictures forever etched in our hearts and minds. Every time i think about those kids. He had accomplishments to be proud of, getting people back to work for one thing. But many times few things went his way. Some real collaboration. He showed so little zest for the give and take in deal making that legislating required. I once asked him if he liked his job. He was ready for the question. Let me tell you, bob, i love this job. Reporter sdl expectations and promises he was assigned superhero status before even settling in. He won the Nobel Peace Prize before actually doing anything of note. Maybe not surprising, since he was the one who said yes, we can. Reporter beyond what he did or didnt do, i keep thinking back to the first minutes of his presidency. Maybe thats when we saw his real legacy. After that, africanamerican grandmothers could finally say to their grandsons and granddaughters, what my granny said to me. See, one day you can be president too. Until barack obama, there was no proof of that. Thats the overnight news for this friday. For some of you, the news continues.

A hallmark of american democracy on display today in washington as donald trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The peaceful transfer of power was once unique to this nation. But over the centuries its become a beacon for other democratic countries to follow. As for mr. Trump, he plans to take the oath of office with two bibles. One his own, the other used by abraham lincoln. Then, the fun begins. Here is major garrett. First, by car. Then on a military plane that soared over the new york city skyline. Donald trump and his family made upon arrival, mr. Trump saluted the troops he will command as the 45th president of the United States. Vice president elect, mike pence. It is a momentous day before an historic day. Reporter the president elects first stoch in the nations capitol was a lunch at his own hotel. This is a gorgeous room. A total jean just must have built it. Mr. Trump and incoming first lady, melania attended a concert at the Lincoln Memorial. And i promise you that i will work so hard we are going to get it turned around. Going to bring our jobs back. We are not going to let other countries take our jobs any longer. Reporter earlier the trump transition in need of experienced personnel in keep posts announced 50 senior level obama aides will stay on board and include, adam szubin and brett mcgurk at the center of the strategy to defeat isis, implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal and sanctions against russia. Incoming White House Press secretary, sean spicer. There are limitations to what some of the individuals can do in terms of enacting the agenda, but in terms of being ready to go and being able to respond to an incident, we are ready to go at 12 01 tomorrow. Upwards of 1 million will attend the inauguration, parade and events that follow. That number includes perhaps a quarter million demonstrators, some supporting but most protesting the new president. Keeping everyone safe is a job of nearly 30,000 security personnel. Jeff pegues reports. Reporter the secret service has gamed out numerous scenarios to protect the new president. From an active shooter to an assassin using a weaponized drone. Director joseph clancy. There is so much concern about a lone wolf type terrorist attack. Are you concerned about that .

As you know, you enter this white house and this city with the lowest Approval Ratings of any person who has assumed the presidency, what kind of and at the same time, how important is to double the efforts to reunite . I think the American People are going to see a president in inaugurated who is going to keep the promise. The polls werent always right during the election year, im skeptical of the polls going into inauguration. I can tell you the president elect, our whole team are ready to go to work and really, just, advance the kind of policies that, that to borrow his phrase will make America Great again. You have been asked this before, i am sure. The tweets, are they a necessary, b, distracting, does he have to tilt at every windmill that criticizes him . I think one of the really refreshing things about the president elect is that he speaks his mind. And sometimes he does that from a podium. Sometimes he does that in an interview. Some times heap does it on twitter. I dont believe it does. I really dont believe it does. You are okay with that . I will tell you that some of the treatment that he has gotten and that we frankly continue to get by some in the media is is frustrating and his ability to literally reach tens of millions of people with his view of a particular issue or a particular news i think is of value to the administration. I expect him to continue to use that. Former president , george h. W. Bush remains hospitalized in houston. Still the intensive care unit, but doctors hope to move him to a regular room in a couple days. As the for wife barbara in hospital, she is said to be feeling 100 better. He is stable now. Resting comfortably in the icu. He is going to stay there for observation. President bush is recovering from what spokesman jim mcgraph described as an acute respiratory problem stemng from pneumonia. Doctors intubated the 41st president wednesday for a procedure to protect and clear his airway. There is not a lot of money to be made betting against george bush. Mcgraph says the 92yearold its a fighter. It is a serious situation. He is 92. He has pneumonia. In the icu. Again you, dont bet against george bush. Reporter the former president hasnt let his age slow him down. He jumped out of an airplane for his 90th birthday. But this is the fourth hospital stay in five years. He is suffering from a disease similar to parkinsons limited his mobility. President bush sent president elect trump a note apologizing that neither he nor his wife would attend the inauguration. My doctor says if i sit outside in january, it will likely put me six feet under, same for barbara, before wishing the president elect well. On wednesday mr. Trump responded with a tweet of support for the couple and thanked the former president for the wonderful letter. Cbs overnight newswi that cough doesnt sound so good. Well i think you sound great.

Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this. During his eight years in office, president obama has received literally millions of letters. Some are funny. Some are sad. And some are downright angry. But nearly all of them get read. From the start of his administration, mr. Obama has instructed his staff to bring him a daily dose of the correspondence to wrap up his day. You know i get a lot of letters from constituents, i get 40,000 every day. I dont read all 40,000. Somebody does. For the past eight years, one of those somebody has been fiona reeves. I lead one, it said on the envelope, alert, do theest baby photo ever inside. As direct ore of president ial team that looks at every single message sent to the white house. About 10 million a year. All those people who selfidentify as little old me, this is their entry point. In his first week, president obama asked for something other president s have not. To read some of the letters every night. The ask was for ten that were representative, and he was really clear about the the point that it shouldnt be ten fan letters. Reporter reeves reads 200 to 400 finalists a day before selecting ten r the briefing book. Not an easy thing to do when the content of the letters is searing and personal. Yeah, it can be it can be emotionally draining. People are often reaching out to the president as a last resort. Reporter the letters arent fact checke. In this tradition, feelings matter more. Its powerful because of what it conveys about your voice, or you know what you have been through. We have received letters from veterans who who are writing in a writing style that can be stream of conscious not. That makes it so much more powerful. Reporter over the years some of the letters have been sweet. She set up a vegetable garden. He sent me a picture. Reporter others have been funny. One was i am retired. I have some advice for you. Ride your bike a lot. Spend time with your wife. Draw. And then it said, dont be afraid to day drink. And i just thought that was pretty good. Reporter many are critical. Sometime the letter say you are an idiot. And the worst president ever. Reporter do you ever feel like he had a bad few days needs uplifting letters. We do feel like when we are giving him a bunch of letters that have tough stuff in them, particularly a friday, we should throw in a tenth letter we some times refer to as the a chaser. That will be like a kid letter. Reporter chaser to make the hard stuff go down easier. Yeah. Letters and often responds. Dear stephen, thank you for your letter. We are proud of you keep up the great work. Reporter philadelphia native, Stephen Johnson graduate student at Oxford University in england. Thank you, president obama. Reporter in high school he wrote the president a letter thanking him for being an inspiration. The president s reply inspired him even more. Even though the letter was short, and the number of words, probably are the most profound word ever addressed to me before. Reporter reeves has seen an uptick in praise for the president all. Thank you for standing up for women. As more people write to say goodbye. Off awe i will regard you as my president , you were the president who believed in me. Reporter later today she will select the final ten letters, president obama will read in office. What do you hope the president walks away with . I hope that he, and the country, walk away with all of these people continuing to feel engaged and like their government hears them they can help shape their government. I think thats what he leaves in our country. I hope he walks away feeling pretty good about that. Of course, too late to rush off a letter to president obama, he is only going to be at the white house a couple more hours. But even yesterday, his staff was going through emails for him to read last night. So if you sent an email, it may just have reached him. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

Researchers compare the results. But what if the people getting the fake drug start Getting Better . Its called the placebo effect. Susan spencer has the story. Ready for the big meeting . Yeah. Hello . A meeting. A big one. Diarrhea, abdominal pain. Reporter you may know it from those mildly embarrassing tv ads. When my ibs flares up. A sharp pain like a punch to my stomach. Linda bonano knows it from daily life. She struggled with ibs, Irritable Bowel Syndrome for two decades. Its horrible. Some times i could be fast asleep and wake up out of a dead sleep at 6 00 in the morning and keel over in pain. Reporter desperate for relief, she immediately signed up for a study at bostons beth israel deaconess center. Made an appointment. And i went down there. Reporter she came home with fingers crossed, and three week supply of pills. The results seemed miraculous. As the the days went on after a week i kept feeling better, and better. Now i am thinking what is in this . Reporter what was the special something in those pills . It was drum roll absolutely nothing. Linda was taking placebos like these. With no real medication in them at all. What makes her story even more astonishing, linda was told she was taking placebos. I remember the first day i took it. I said why am i even taking this . It is like a waste of my time. When i saw that i felt better, i am thinking maybe he just told me it was a placebo and it is a new medication theyre trying out didnt want me to know. Reporter ted capchick, a professor at Harvard Medical School ran the experiment. What did your colleagues initially think . Ry eveone thought it was crazy at the beginning. Reporter but it worked. He says roughly 60 of the subjects in his study, reported Getting Better. Even though they knew they were taking a placebo. A placebo is an inert substance, cellose, starch, sugar, the placebo effect is everything that surround that pill, the interaction between patient, doctor, nurse. The symbols, the rituals. Those are powerful forces. Doctors have understood the power of placebos at least since they were used in Clinical Trials in the 50s. But fake pills work only in certain cases. There are a lot of illnesses you dont give placebos, cancer, lowering cholesterol. The scope where the placebo effect is relevant is any sim sim symptom that the brain c can modulate by itself. Making an appointment. Going to the doctor. Taking a pill suggests something may happen. 35 of the time people will report symptom relief from taking a substance that is not biologically active. People will. Very impressive. Dr. Arthur barsky, psychiatrist at brigham hospital in boston. He said people even report side effects from placebos. Clearly we are highly suggestible creatures. There are studies, asthma, you can provoke an asthma attack by showing some one a pollen that theyre allergic to in a sealed jar. I had a patient who had allergic dermatitis to cats, saw the scat on the television screen, and started to itch. Aware of the power of the mind, as many as half of all american doctors admit to having prescribed some form of placebo. According to a 2008 study. There are a lot of things that we do that are not directly curative that make a difference. Prescribing vitamin fills. Iron pills. Cold packs. Heat packs. Antibiotics for a viral infection bah the patient really wants it. Not just that the patient imagines feeling better. People who responded to placebo treatment who were in pain, we actually see part of the main matrix being activated that would change the send sags that would change the se sensation of pain. Reporter just the act of taking a pill, each a fact one, can coax the brain into producing its own helpful chemicals. In fact, we know that giving the pill in the context of the health care encounter, activates neurotransmitters. Something chemically is happening. Amazing to me. It is really amazing to me. I have been in the business a long time. I know that the phenomenon of my patients changing by virtue of nothing else than their expectations is real. Reporter this neurologist at university of cincinnati, specializes in parkinsons disease. Drugs used in parkinsons help the brain make dopamine, turns out placebos do too. This can be measured, measurable changes within the brain . Very much so. Depression comes with parkinsons, you can really sink pretty fast if you let yourself. Reporter bob walton lived with parkinsons a decade. The doctor enrolled him in a study supposely comparing an expensive drug to a cheaper one. I actually felt a l better after i got the expensive one. Reporter well, guess what . He did an interview, an hour and a half after it was over. They were both saline. Reporter these were both placebos. Both placebos. Reporter and there was no price difference at all. So we have twice as much improvement if i think it costs a lot. Exactly. Of not only did the supposedly expensive drug do twice the job, it did just as well as a real parkinsons drug. So they thought that because it was expensive, it has how to be good . Correct. That alone can affect things physiologically . It does. The lesson here says the doctor, when patients believe in their medications those medications just may work better. To do your experiment, you had to mislead people . I did. How did you feel about that . Terrible. In fact, outside of Clinical Trials like the doctors, the American Medical Association frowns on deception in treating patients. Patients cannot be given a placebo without informed consent and told clearly transparent transparentally what it is. Given lindas succession with placebos for her ibs it may not matter if patients know. Which raises an interesting question. I think the next step is, how do we concretely use placebo effects in clinical practice. There are some ways in which we may not see the patieutnt b still get the benefit. You tell the patient we will give you the active medicine. Some days you get a placebo. If that were to work, you would lessen the chance of addiction, tolerance, its cheaper. Meanwhile, lindas symptoms are back full force. But, she has an appointment with professor capchick. Im possibly going to go on placebos again and see what happens. Seems so strange to hear some body i am going on placebos. I know, i aab exactly. Im really excited. Take a good look at yourself. Oh, yeah. And turn. Oh very nice.
