Why not just prescribe a crystal and some essential oils instead? Maybe have them sacrifice a chicken tomorrow evening at dusk? Actually, if they send me $400 in Bitcoin I will simply cure them with the power of prayer. Nobody is making meth off of my well wishes either.

Sounds like a business plan

Why a prescription? If the patient can get a placebo fix without a prescription, isn't that better?

Of course having a "healer" present with a "prescription" may make people feel better. So maybe prescribing crystals is better than pharmacy homeopathic remedies.

However, none of this needs to cost $400. Given that these are all placebos, they should cheap and safe.

Nah, if they need to believe in homeopathic cure-alls it most definitely needs to cost $400. Compared to a Medbed, I'm offering a total bargain.
