"may be a placebo"
My friend, there is no "may".
Also, you can buy Tic Tacs from any newsagent or gas station.
Not to defend homeopathy, but a big part of why placebo works is how we percieve the medicine/treatment.
Tic tacs wouln't work as well as fake medicine (aka homeopathy) because they don't look as "official".
