> I've experimented

I dont want to devalue your experience. But this experimentation is usually not "(placebo) controlled" and not "double blind".

You could! Take a randomly selected real-or-placebo, that's marked as such but you do not know at the time. See if you can feel the difference, not your experience, repeat. Then look at your results. According to placebo science the results may shock you.



not = note
