I’m not sure why you are repeating what I said as if I didn’t already say that.

Yes, it’s known to have an effect. But the placebo itself literally does nothing. It’s not a placebo unless it is guaranteed to do nothing or it wouldn’t have any value to science with how they use it. Any effect is psychosomatic and NOT an effect of the placebo. Hence the term “placebo effect” this is incredibly important when testing to gather for useful data.

I’m guessing you just misunderstood what I was saying since you seem to be releasing me other than the distinction between placebo and placebo effect
