To think that if your FB status is "There are so many myths and lies around- challenge what you hear, step out and be you" then it's probably best if you....

" Otherwise, really, how can you say definitively? You can't - it can only be opinion"

Because independent people have done proper, scientific, double blind, peer reviewed studies that have shown that it doesn't work.

Simple

Juice + is tasty though, the vanilla one mixes with raspberries is delicious.

I don't believe in homeopathy. This whole "watered down until only the energy remains" is bullshit. Complete crap. But it works for me. Maybe it is just the spending an hour or so pouring out all my aches pains and niggles and having a lovely lady listen and give me a sugar pill at the end and it's all just a placebo, but you know what? I don't care!! It works for me. I don't use it INSTEAD of conventional medicine, I use it ALONGSIDE conventional medicine (complementary, rather than alternative...)
And it does really piss me off when people just poo-poo it when they have no experience of it. Like I say, I don't believe it, the "science" is SHIT, but a friendly ear and a sugar pill has gotta be better for ME than endless antibiotics and steroids...

Of course! But why the sugar pill?

Why not? I wish I could remember the study, I've been racking my brains all morning, but I have read a study where people were told that they were having placebo treatment (for depression?) group 1 were given counselling, group 2 were given counselling and sugar pills, group 4 were given Counselling and ADs and group 5 were given ADs only. I know it was only a small sample (100s, not 1000s) but the ones that did best were the ones on counselling and sugar pills, the ones that did worst were on ADs alone. And remember, they ALL thought they were getting either nothing or placebos.
Talking and a sugar pill seems to frequently work better for me than antibiotics and steroid creams. I know many the same. I do not try to convert, only to open minds.

I like turtles.
