If it’s placebo who cares you say. But it matters. Homeopathy might make you feel better for the same reason. That doesn’t make it any less a load of nonsense. Of course glad you have some relief from your symptoms.
Dominic, Thank you. I am in the process of renewing my sub to Comedy News. We met briefly at one of your gigs in Bedford recently. In terms of your investment advice, I have just purchased a second copy of your already acclaimed book, 'The Secret History of Gold' for a friend's birthday. As for Six Goals and Nine Dreams, I have just ordered Michelle's books, Miracle Worker and Mental Clarity for starters, and will take things from there. For now, intrigued. For background, I follow Taoism, practise Tai Chi and meditation. With best wishes to Michelle and yourself. Mike
About 25 years ago I had serious backache and my GP at the time recommended I try an osteopath who was based in the same building (£30 a session). After several visits, which offered some temporary relief each time, the osteopath actually told me that I had a "worn spine" and that things like reaching up to change lightbulbs etc. would always be difficult for me from now on. Not wanting to face a lifetime of disability and osteopath visits, I thought I really did need a second opinion.
This time I paid a private GP £50 for a visit and he organised an X-ray for around £80. This GP told me he could see absolutely nothing wrong with my spine and suggested it was probably caused by stress and muscle tension. Just being told this caused immediate relief and eventually led to my back curing itself completely.
Often do think what sort of condition I would be in now if I had just believed the osteopath.
I now believe that many ailments can be cured throught the placebo effect, the most advanced being the placebo effect (but without actually taking the placebo).
Hi Dominic just a minor technicality. If you've been playing football for a long time then we need to clear something up quickly. To "put your laces through it" does NOT mean to kick the ball with the instep but rather to do what it says, which is to strike the ball with the front, top part of your foot, where the laces are located, to kick it with power. This technique is used for long, strong passes or powerful shots, as the laces provide a firm, flat surface for the ball. Hope I cleared that up for you!
From google "The instep is the bony, arched, upper part of the foot that runs from the ball of the toes to the front of the ankle. It is the area that a shoe's laces cover when you wear it. "
Because of the word "in" one thinks the instep is the inside of the foot but it isn't

The placebo effect is real. As is the nocebo effect.
What you believe is so important
Careful Dom, remember what happened to Glen Hoddles career after he got involved with Eileen Drewery!!!!
I know right!!!

Hahahha. That is the instep!
