A kind of homeopathic "sugar pill" which couldn't be explained so
"psychological" became a catch-all. What works...works. Call it what you
will. With documented results that are consistent, I should think "placebo"
is a misnomer.

Rob,
I agree with your characterization of placebo as "something that is providing
relief", but are there
"documented" results in this case"? I've heard a lotta hearsay but haven't
seen any good evidence.
