It's really interesting how people with theoretical knowledge of what the placebo effect is can still refuse to believe in it in practice. From my experience, I think a lot of doctors don't really believe in these effects.

South-East Asians have 'dry' earwax, as determined by the ABCC11 gene. This is the same gene that makes their sweat have no odour. Just because Vietnamese people go around with sweaty shirts, doesn't necessarily mean you shou
