most everything u hear about medicine is wrong, page-11

ptygmit, the placebo effect is totally disproved, as far as homoeopathy is concerned. It works equally well on:

animals, included in their feed, for otherwise fatal conditions such as lantana poisoning
babies,
people in a coma,
people slipped a remedy in their sleep,
total and utter skeptics,
curing things people had forgotten was wrong with them.

Anyway, in my opinion, if a placebo cures 90% of the time (which is my experience over hundreds of patients), then it's such a good placebo that its use should be supported, rather than denigrated.
