And what a powerful effect that is. It all comes down to the mind and perception and by gum, if you think you feel better, more enriched, enlivened, happy then who's to say you aren't? What is real is pretty subjective most of the time, especially if it has to do with what you are feeling (as in improvement of "physical and mental well-being"). So no matter what you want to call it "placebo" or otherwise, if you feel great that's a pretty good indicator something positive (relatively speaking) happened. >
