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

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.

A few things, Tony. *I believe you misunderstand what I meant. *I do
not believe that 'western medicine', 'eastern medicine' or
'homeopathic' anything are infallible, but there's some truth in all
of them.

If anyone believes all of homeopathic treatments are a bunch of hooey
(that's a medical term), all they have to do is look at the active in
willow bark, which was used for millennia for pain, and neti pots.
Simple and effective. *People didn't wake up and become smart within
the last century. *People have been smart all along. *Throwing out all
of that smart because some things that they did were proven wrong or
not understood, is, well, stupid.

Good grief. *Your idea of "medicine" is that something that will kill you in
reasonable quantities will cure you (of whatever) in less than atomic
quantities, because it left an "impression" on the media? *GMAFB!

Lastly, *please use a spellchecker. *I know you're a smart guy, and
there shouldn't be any unnecessary barriers to communication. *Thanks.

He does not understand the definition of homeopathic medicine and is
confusing with folk medicine.

And vaccines were invented how, exactly?

What's the function of a fever? *Not the cause, the function.

My point is that there's good and bad in everything, and to throw out
all knowledge from any area because of some bad results is stupid.

Cars pollute - get rid of them!
Dogs poop in your backyard - kill them off!

It's that sort of thinking that stops rationale thinking. *It's an
emotional response, nothing more.
