From a medical standpoint? It's snake oil, just like acupuncture

I think it's time the whole world started to look beyond the medical standpoint. Medicines - chemically based, synthetic chemicals at that (ie chemotherapy) are not solving the
cause of many illnesses. I think that is more of a placebo effect. Give someone pills to make the symptom go away, but underneath the sickness remains.There are now SO MANY people with success stories (mine included) following 'alternative' treatment, surely we should all look towards that way?

I don't care if it's a placebo or not. It works, and that's all that matters to me

Good for you.
My mother in law has acupuncture. She is old and loves the doctors. If they write her a script for more pills, she's in heaven! She tried acupuncture as our suggestion and is finding her pain is easing. And she has no understanding of placebo or mind power. Aliantha - we are on our uphill battle again I fear!
