TL;DR single test at best inconclusive but broadly said no evident benefit. Good randomisation but so many variables.

I am convinced the author is in a persisting out of body state.

Also, placebo is great!! I have reverse white coat syndrome, paying my GP attendance fee to have a nice doctor measure my BP consistently shows it better than when I do it at home.

Placebo is a fantastic treatment for hypochondria.

Definitely cured my leprosy and phantom pregnancy. Hasn't reduced my PSA yet.
