What I'm saying doesn't require either ^^^^. If anything, you prove my point that the mind is much more powerful than both you and I know, and it can achieve incredible things.

smh

You do know that a placebo effect doesn't require any kind of experiment to be going on to work right? Like, you don't HAVE to have two different groups. If I give one person a sugar pill and tell them it's a miracle drug that can help them with X and they believe me then there's a chance that they will experience the placebo effect regardless of whether or not someone is actually receiving a working drug.
