the crazy thing about placebo is just how effective it is. because yes, placebo could do that.

we have piles of studies that prove beyond a doubt that placebo can measurably and significantly aid in the healing of physical injuries like broken legs. you don't Even need to believe in it. there's studies where patients are told they're being given a placebo that will do nothing, and they STILL got better faster than the group given nothing.
