...reality exists but just where we focus!
It is a tough time to be a Newtonian. All these Cheshire cats grinning at you.
So, when it comes down to it, your belief influences and perhaps even determines your Universe (not the same as my Universe). Positive thinking? What a bunch of Rubes! Until we found that pesky epigenetic response to belief. Little genes snapping on and off like a roller coaster full of Parkies.
Placebo is big juju! Don't believe it? You just confirmed it as your disbelief influenced your reality.
My gawd - I'm channeling Bob.
Merry Xmas all!

If you like "evidence" (perhaps "outcome" would be the term you would accept because these texts are based on observations using scientific methodology...) based medicine check out the extensive and exhaustive homeopathic materia medicas listiing drug effects or the stem cell work done by Dr. Bruce Lipton.
Having said that, I would suggest you already benefit from placebo as we all benefit from pursuing that which our subconscious dictates. Nocebo is the negative belief and works just as well as placebo so in the end we all do what is within us .
I don't think it has to be either or thus I used the terms complimentary and integrative.
