The placebo effect was named because people are so good at telling which effects are real and which are imagined.
In fact, they're so good at it that expensive sugar pills work better than cheap sugar pills at treating their ills.
Keeping going down that slippery slope and everything in life is imagined.
Which it is. If you're a solipsist. Or a mystic.
l can tell you from personal experience, when I take on a vegetarian diet, particularly a vegan one sans sugar, salt, and processed foods, I can feel the difference in every cell of my body. And I have more REAL energy than I know what to do with.
I know you like to kill supper, which is cool. But if you were able to maintain a plant-based diet for a couple weeks or more, you would would feel a difference in every fiber of your being - which you would be convinced is not merely placebo.
Simple fact.
The slippery slope you're standing on is you slipping your way to being a complete dumbfuck.
The placebo effect is real and measurable - your faggot "I feel better" feelings are in your stupid head.
I get it -
you hate science and evidence, and you love feelings. The DNC will be calling you for a donation soon.
Disagree.
All I've ever wanted is more, comprehensive testing. And accountability.
In my opinion, one of the defining challenges of our generation will be the skyrocketing rate of 'birth defects.' It has to stop. I don't fucking care if it's vaccines, gmo's, pharma, meat, processed food, sugar, portable devices radiation, etc. #DefinitiveCausation.
I don't trust the profit-centers. The ones funding the entire system - including the FDA. The ones you ultimately get your information from.
The ones wagering billions with legal immunity. Hippocratic oath indeed.
All bets are on.
What I know instinctually is: when I don't partake in the aforementioned #causation, I feel fucking great.
