I don't want to expose the actual placebo or condition but have been self-studying this for ~7 years now. It's not within societal knowledge as of today.
The placebo is mentally administered, has a 100% success rate at provably halting the condition for a indeterminate amount of time. It also works in reverse, and is quite dangerous when used this way.
It's one of my LLM tests to have the LLM come to the conclusion based on available data on the condition (as it was my only source). Today, no LLM has passed the test.
It doesn't help because without any details at all from which to form an empathic bond between us there's no path for us to navigate from "obviously fabricated anecdote" to "believable anecdote".
It's also obnoxious for you to play obfuscatory gatekeeper with grown ass adults, and it makes your word less valuable not more.

We're adults. We get to make our own mistakes if we want to. Thank you for the warning, but please provide the information so we can decide what to do with it for ourselves instead of patronizing your audience. Otherwise it really does make you sound like a crank, unfortunate as that may be.
The intent was to indicate that part of your problem might lie in what you believe and how that impacts the effect of any placebo.
I have no desire or need to prove anything on the internet. I provided enough information for a motivated person to determine what was said and apply it themselves.
You're welcome to be upset at the lack of peer review or details. However, I will point out that the post includes that this is deliberate. I also pointed out that the knowledge can be dangerous, which is why it wasn't expounded on.
There's some questions in the person's post that I was providing some reflection on. The truth of my comment, or any peer reviewed study for that matter, is up to the reader.
It's funny because the idea of a mental placebo requires the user to place their trust in the very same.

I hope this helps.
