I must be a retard because I tried dozens of “real” sinus drugs and they don’t work, but changing my diet using methods that have been known for hundreds of years is probably just all in my head. > > That’s one hell of a placebo effect. A few years ago I wouldn’t have been able to see straight when I went outside in the morning and found 1/4" of pollen on my car, but now, I don’t blow my nose the entire day. If my brain is that powerful I might be able to wish F bodies back to life. The change in your diet could have been a HUGE part of it, maybe? No? Telling me that drinking water that contains no molecules of whatever’s been diluted in it is miraculously healing your allergies is a bunch of crap. Find me a scientific or clinical study that says homeopaths do anything more than a Placebo-effect. Yes, your brain is THAT powerful, and yes it’s “all in your head”. It’s an overreaction of the immune system, which is why local bee-honey helps wonders. If you can trick your brain into thinking you’re fixing the problem, then yes, the problem will seem to get better. The same way Shaolin monks can “tune out” pain. Honestly if it’s working for you, good for you, but don’t kid yourself on the science behind it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/allergies/197272)._
