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

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.

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