Very well could be a placebo
2 comments

Reminds me of the old, with treatment, most colds will be cured in just 7 days! Without treatment they generally last about a week.

That said, do not underestimate the health benefits of the placebo effect. It can help a lot. Particularly with anything to do with stress.

So your statement should have been, "it seems to help."
