Can a placebo effect be used for physical harm on someone else?

Your body is pretty powerful, but I don't think it can simulate a chemical reaction with an acid that isn't there

if it could, they would probably be able to harness that as a free source of energy somehow

The body is an incredible thing but I doubt it.

Well if someone got really stressed "this thing I just injected into you will kill you", and the person is freaking out, he might suffer from a heart attack.

you can't risk injection someone with water cause if a bubble of air get in there, get to the brain, you got a murder on your hands

This is generally why only medical professionals deliver injections. You can inject someone with water, it just has to have the proper salt content and it's usually referred to as saline.

But if you're fine with melting their face, by all means grab a hypodermic needle, syringe, and go hog wild anyway.

Well, if you knocked a woman out, and sprayed her inner thighs and vagina with corn starch and water [makes a semen like substance] and told her she was raped, then denied her the technology of pregnancy tests, her breasts might swell and begin to lactate and her belly would expand. Then again, that would be evil.

No. The worst that could happen is shock, which I guess could harm you if you are EXTREMELY shocked, although thinking your dieing obviously may lower a bit of your bodies natural defenses, it is proven stress does this.

Yes it can

IT is a movie. You can't melt someone's face off but you can induce nausea.

If you could get someone to eat a brownie or something, and then tell them it was your crap. They might get nauseous but other than that no.
