How many of you have changed your prescription on your own??

If a placebo works, IT WORKS! It's a great word and is used in many different ways about many things. It's called the placebo effect -- if it works, IT WORKS!

I listen to relaxing music when I decide it's time to sleep. It works for me. Would some call that the placebo effect? Who cares! And it costs money that I feel I can afford... and it WORKS! Is it the placebo effect? Who cares!

Hmmm, if you think it works, then it works?

I'm just going to hang out at the coffee shop this morning and think the vacuum cleaner and dusting brush are doing my house.

Thanks for the tip!

Julie,

Phil may be wrong about the effect of SC has on his various situations but I am curious as to why you reacted the way you did. People simply view situations differently. Also, he didn't advocate his experience applied to everyone as he was just sharing his situation.

Since you know that people view situations differently, I am curious why you reacted to Julie's comment the way you did?

Crap. I find myself agreeing with xx... I fear that I will lose my libtard staus. That ought to wreck my sleep

Nah, no threat of that happening. He'll remind you when you disagree with him again.

CK,

That is not what LH said as it just seems like you are trying to nitpick people's posts.

Anyway, I am heading over to Starbucks in a bit to see if your tip works.

Hey, Killer ... read and attempt to comprehend, minus your juvenile cartoons:

Do I understand correctly that you people are advocating SC.
Just because their advertising is influencing the feeble-minded?
This just BITES!

That is so not what people are advocating.

I wouldn't buy a SC machine if they dropped the price to a nickle. But, that doesn't give you or me the right to decide what's right for someone else (especially someone who has already purchased the machine). If using the machine gives a person comfort or peace of mind, why would you want to take that away? The placebo effect works if you want it to.

[chunkyfrog]

You say it works if they BELIEVE it does.
How does it convince the microbes to die?
SC makes claims that are LIES.
Some of us feel obligated to remind people that they have been CHEATED.
Everyone has the RIGHT to be told the TRUTH, even if it hurts their ego.

My sleep doc entered my self-modified settings into my permanent record.
I like him--he's a keeper.

My sleep clinic did the same. The problem with the sleep clinic is that I never saw the doc again. Even appointments made specifically with the doc were substituted with a NP without prior notice. After the 2nd bait and switch, I left. My primary does my scripts now and just asks me how things are going and writes down what my settings are.

YAY! And this thread is back at the top of the page.

If I let doctors control my care I would have died long ago.
