>how do you blind the contents of the pills unless someone else does it?
My idea ( you need to adapt the numbers)
1 you build say 30 paper small bags
2 you then get 15 pills of vitamins/drug you test and 15 of placebo , you need them to be similar in shape/color
3 you put the pills in bags and make two piles, say on left side you have the vitamin and right side you have the placebo
4 you make a script to generate 30 long code numbers , you print the codes and stick them on the bags(or use a pen), my idea is that even if you now see that the code you are sticking on the bag, since it will be some long code you should forget it, or have someone else stick the codes . You save the code nubmers in a file, the first 15 codes are the medicine the last 15 the placebo
5 each day you take a bag, open, take the pill and record the code on the bag
