Well, placebos can work for some people. And at least there are no side effects to water! :P

Not a believer I see. It's cool. I have a story to tell about homeopathy though, so here goes:
My eldest, then only 5 or 6, was having super high fevers on a cyclical schedule - every few weeks she'd shoot up to 106 degrees, and we'd run to the ER, where they could find nothing wrong. Cue an endless stream of doctor visits. We finally got a diagnosis of some very rare and dread disease for which there was no known treatment. You can imagine our fright.
So we called a homeopath. He prescribed one dose of a tissue salt (Calc carb I believe, but it was long ago) and she never had a high fever again. Placebo?
Maybe - that's exactly how placebos (sometimes) work. But if you don't know the dosage or even the name of the drug/medicine/compound used, I can't research it. The good news is you don't have to deal with those sudden fevers anymore!
