Both my wife and I have used this for the past 2 months and we have

Not really. It's more likely the placebo effect.

Which, by the way, is a perfectly valid treatment if it works.

The mind is an odd organ - there is a mind-over-matter
component to it.

However, working against double-blind studies, it's a
50/50 proposition which basically means it's effective
if you believe it to be effective.

Nothing wrong with that.


It is not in my head, nor in my wife's head. Believe what you want.

The mind does have the amazing ability to play a major factor in healing
the body. Some people fail to understand that that is a positive thing.
