Great points. The very existence of the placebo effect proves that "inert" substances do, in fact, work for some people, even if the effect is purely psychological.
Some vitamins do work for some people. And science is about finding what works.
- blacksmith_tb 9y agoNot "purely" psychological though - that would be a delusion, which we presumably don't consider 'working'. Perhaps it would better to say that while the effect is somatic, the cause is psychological?
- benpiper 8y agoIt could be either.
