That's what I think about so many home/traditional cure. Maybe it works for those people due to placebo effect, and I've lost that magic because I'm too critical of everything.
I am one of the unfortunate one that, during a double blind test, became addicted to placebos. My life is now a living hell. I can't find good placebos anywhere. I went to the drug store and yelled "THROW ME A LIFESAVER". They gave me butterscotch. Tomorrow will be much like today.
