Love would not be placebo!
Placebo is the active belief in a positive or curative outcome.
Love creates the conditions in which shock or belief in a negative is calmed and undone or released. If I live long enough 'nursing' might be rediscovered.
Many also use homeopathy for animals and have done so for generations.
And so to cynics masking as sceptics, any perception and belief that homeopathy is effective is a 'coincidence' because there is no (officially accepted) model for HOW it works. Whereas we KNOW how statins work and so they are real - and side effects are nocebo. (sic).
btw - No one knows how gravity operates - regardless the mathematical descriptions or ratios and equations that fit that it operates as it does (mostly) so far.
On being challenged for his new 'law', Newton replied, "I have no hypothesis".
Some ideas take and some don't - and not because they are worthy or true but because believing them is believed profitable or protective to the current self definition.
