I'm sure I don't have to explain how this proves that you're wrong, do I? Or will it be countered with special pleading?
How does this prove I'm wrong? It makes my point actually. If you believe the placebo with help you, the you get positive results, if you believe it will harm you, then you get negative results.
Not all that hard to figure out.
None of that has anything to do with a god or faith or any other nebulous term you want to throw in. It's a scientific question that's being investigated. The placebo effect most certainly isn't "Faith healing" any more than the nocebo effect is "Faith harming".
EDIT: On that note, I'm out. Worktime. Have fun y'all.
