I understand that to be true, but I’ve also read recently that the placebo effect is largely overstated.

I think I’m doubly bitter about homeopathy in particular because it’s available on the NHS. My tax money is going to fraudsters.

How on earth did the providers of such convince the NHS? They are by large considered quacks and has been ridiculed on state TV (NRK, our BBC) numerous times.

Luckily this is no longer the case (in general)!
