I guess almost all drugs have placebo as a part of their effect. For instance, I've been using those small Elekiban magnets to avoid mild lower back pain, for at least 15 years, and they still seem to work. And even if it was placebo, I don't care. Placebo is, I believe, a real effect based on, well, shraddhaa (faith). As Patañjali sez, for most people asaMprajñaata-samaadhi(?) is: shraddhaa-viirya-smRti-samaadhi-prajñaa-puurvaka itareSaam (I 20) Taimni's translation: (In the case) of others, (upaaya-pratyaya-yogis) it [asaMprajñaata- samaadhi? - card] is preceded by faith, energy, memory and high intelligence necessary for /samaadhi/. :D
