Placebo

I highly doubt placebo effect would have helped me two times.

Then I know another person who it helped.

What studies?

Why should I believe these studies more than personal experience?

(damn, I know that theists also have personal experience with their God, but I am sure my p.e. is different)

On a side note, is it too hard for you people to express yourselves without vulgarisms?
Why do you doubt that highly?

The many studies comparing 'real' acupuncture with sham acupuncture.

It's very easy to fall prey to confirmation bias, regression to the mean etc, and well-designed studies control for many things that mislead you when subjectively reporting your experiences.

Fuck cunt asshole! (*)

(*) we have a profanity / vulgarity quota we have to meet here, sorry if you find it off-putting
