Surely you realize that this not an effective test against the placebo effect.

If society wants to determine if X is generally an effective treatment for Y, there need to be robust experiments that involve multiple people as subjects.

If, however, one guy feels a lot better doing X, and feels worse they stop doing X, then sure, that person should probably keep doing X. Why does X work for that person? Who knows?
