Consider the placebo effect. A weight lifter told me that any diet or exercise program can result in great success as long as the individual buys the hype behind it. The mind is a powerful thing. Believe the good studies and maybe your mind will make the results happen lol.

What about the senile, dementia-ridden, Alzheimer-reduced elderly that don’t know what’s going on and they respond positively to it? Placebo effect? Most likely not.

I put it on my dogs’ food.

Their overall health has improved and their coats shine like black obsidian.

Fas as I know, they’ve not read any of the claims.

that is true, but when you see stuff working on animals who have no idea of the placebo effect getting better, it’s real. a great example of this is cold laser therapy for pain control and injury healing.

and often they do double’blind test with a placebo group vs he actual thing tested, and when you see the placebo group doung significantly less better you know you have something that works.

coconut oil is the real deal and it’s an incredible health item.

many people scoff at natural stuff becxause companies can’t patent it and try to make billions off it, there’s no money in it and only “drugs” can claim to “cure” disease.

Placebo effect for dementia? What a stupid remark.
