    bro, anecdotal evidence is great, but the placebo effect is very powerful and while it won't cure something like cancer or an infection, it will definitely help with things like pain relief and nausea - although only for some people, and not all the time, and it's usually less than the effect of a medicine. homeopathy is literally just water, the dilutions are often so significant that theres not a single trace of the original substance left. the times they've "worked" for you are becuase you believe that they will.

    the placebo effect cant make you sleep better, or remove hayfever, or add 50 pounds to your overhead press.

    for the first one yes it can, second youre citing this study which was horribly designed + has been contradicted countless times in a million other studies + and has such a small number of patients any results it gets are clinically insignificant, and thirdly yeah im sure taking a magic pill somehow did that, if i take duck penis 20C i will be able to lift 50 more pounds magically and not because im doing other things that cause my muscles to grow stronger.

    placebo effect can also relieve the symptoms of hay fever, im afraid

    also you dont know more than me kid, dont even fucking try

    no, you dont. taking a drink of water does not somehow confer upon you mystical knowledge of a "medicine" that literally defies science, you arent plug drugs buster so that shit dont fly
