      Placebos are so effective, we’ve just started selling them explicitly (Zeebo). If it’s cheap and doesn’t have any negative effects, I don’t care if it’s a placebo or more; it works.

        It’s wild if it is purely placebo, because I’ve given so many anecdotal cure supplements an honest shot throughout my life, and have ruled every last one of them out as either ineffective, or total horseshit. But the results I experience (as well as my wife, who is officially onboard with Echenacia now) are astounding.

        Getting sick used to be a nightmare for me. I would always end up with a horrible sore throat and sinus infection that would inevitably go to my lungs and/or ears, and it would persist up to two weeks. Now I just shrug it off in a few days.
