Well, if the "real" treatments had worked and had corrected the problem, then they wouldn't be seeing me, would they? But the question is, why didn't the "real" treatment work as a placebo?
"How do animals know it is a placebo? They don't, that's why it's called a placebo. Do you even know what placebo is/means?"
Hang on a sec, if animals don't know that it is apparently a placebo, how can it cure them by the placebo effect, which according to you is the only possible effect a remedy can have?
Yes, I'm asking what the scientific method is. tristanc said "biology" - not terribly specific, and difficult to use as a diagnostic technique.
I am glad you find something discerning. Perhaps you have discerned that you are adopting the straw man approach?
