Why do some experiments on homeopathy contradict each other? What if, homeopathy works like placebo, and if you expect to prove it works, you do so, and if you expect to prove it doesn’t, you do so as well?.. Could there be a scientific mechanism for placebo?
Placebo is powered by the belief of the person who uses it, not the person who researches it.
If person A takes the placebo to e.g. fix their blood pressure, and person B measures their blood pressure but doesn’t know why, and person C organizes the experiment, the results should depend on A’s beliefs—because B doesn’t have any, and C already receives the final numbers.
