"When something looks like a placebo and behaves like a placebo, there comes a point when you have to admit that it's a placebo."

-- Edzard Ernst, "the UK's only professor of complementary medicine" blah, blah, blah, pretty much nailing the one problem I've encountered repeatedly when looking at any aspect of these "wonderful" NewAge times - the delusional thinking used to prop up claims for everything, from complimentary medicine to the "advice" of Oprah, and even the policies of Obama - maybe without Professor Ernst even knowing he was doing so, in The Yorkshire Post.
