The placebo effect is perfectly real. *It works even if the people

power of the mind is not one of them.


Read some of the recent studies on placebos and the difference in
effect between a control group. *It's by no means negligible.


Hmmm,
Perfect means *100%. Please define Placeo.


You are mistaken on your definition of perfectly in this context. *If
the odds of flipping a coin and having it come up heads is 1 in 2, it
does not mean that every second flip will be heads.

Hi,
Then define protocol in clinical setting what is controlled group
drug testing agaist placebo. Do you know the history of homeopathic
which still eveolves. If you don't believe in homeophatic pills, I don't
think you'll be afraid to take some which can be made so strong
you can die.- Hide quoted text -

I think you need to look up the definition of homoeopathy too.
It's in there with tiger bones and rhinocerous horn and all the other
mumbo-jumbo crank therapy/cures.
