I agree with everything you said.
It is a shame however that there are so many "treatments" and "cures" out
there standing on the shoulders of the placebo effect. Many of them cause,
at best, just a huge waste of time and money but at worst many of them cause
serious negative aspects when actual treatments are put off, misapplied or
just plain ignored in favor of these treatments.

Consider this, some studies suggest that over half the pain killing
effect of morphine or heroin is placebo. The brain is a wonderful
device, we simply have not learned enough about it yet.
I would not call it trickery or whatever, what happens is that when
the placebo effect is activated one system in our brain is activated
to reduce the pain.
