- an_aparallel 3y agoisnt the problem that you cant patent it ? :P
- nico 3y agoWhat do you mean? Like if your headache goes away with a placebo, isn’t that the same as taking a pain killer? In that case the effect is the same isn’t it?
- selfhoster11 3y agoA headache often has an underlying cause, and the placebo effect will not heal that.
