Placebo injections are better then 2 placebo pills which are better then 1 placebo pill (better being a stronger "believed" benefit). Hell even wine tastes better when one believes it cost a lot. Having a couple hundred dollar investment stuffed up my patooey is very likely to make me believe I got something for the effort especially when "our bodies know what’s best when we listen to them." The data seems to indicate an immeasurably small benefit with real known risks. Since our drugs and surgeries need to meet risk benefit standards, why not have the same for our quackery: colon cleansing would be "recalled from the shelves" faster then you could say Vioxx.
