Re: you must accept the scientific fact that placebo ... works.
but I do. Indeed, I'm not quite as fanatical about quack medicine as some, since it can actually produce an effect for a fraction of the price of real medicine.
If a homoeopathist came clean and said "look, it's just water, but it seems to be able to create a verifiable improvement in some patients,so lets go with it," I'd have total respect for them.
It's the camp-followers of woo and "memory of water" and that hogwash that grind my gears.
