My view is that "placebo" is a way of downgrading results from changes in a person's belief system that they will get well or not. I'm convinced that such changes are much more important than medical interventions (though those are necessary, as well, when there is a physical threat preventing recovery). In fact, studies definitely show this. Please read the following article and respond!
