I didn't think your 'weird annecdotal evidence' was 'pure quackery' either. I just I found it a bit amusing that you didn't acknowledge the placebo effect and instead described the earring removal '
working in some really uncomprehensible way or there is some really weird mental issue where you just think it better... etc etc...'
... and eventually tried removing an earring and she showed improvement. So it either works in some really uncomprehensible way or there is some really wierd mental issue where you just think it better because you are told that the foreign body is responsible for the issue and then that is removed. But I doubt it.
I don't believe this shit works, but I know that it has produced results.
Placebo:
Really weird, uncomprehensible to science - check.
Mental issue - check.
'Just think it better' - check.
'Because you are told the foriegn body is responsible for the issue' - check.
'I know it has produced results' - check. Look up how many wonder drugs never reach market due to failing to beat the placebo effect in trials.
