Personally, I find it hilarious that drug companies have to go to such extremes to remove the placebo effect from their studies, when for almost every drug that has ever undergone clinical trials, the placebo effect is far greater than the effectiveness of the drug under study. Unfortunately, the companies can't patent a placebo, but once the drugs are on the market they are more than happy to take credit for patients whose improvement cannot be distinguished from the placebo effect.
So at the same time that western science avoids the taboo of researching the psi effect, they are spending billions of dollars annually to remove the elephant from the room without ever acknowledging its existence.
Food for thought,

In Plant Shamanism, any plant will work for the prescribed illness if prepared correctly. Thus, any tool works for healing if the healee is open to being healed. Health is a natural state of being that is ever present awaiting our openness and welcoming of this present state of being. The same goes for PEACE and LOVE and JOY--- these states of being are ever present awaiting our opening and welcoming of their expression.
