My only problem with placebo is a) charging for it feels immoral, at least if the practitioner is aware of it and isn't up front about it and moreso b) if there's risk involved (especially if it's undisclosed).

My understanding is that there is some risk of stroke with neck manipulation, but I haven't read anything about that in a long time, do you have any info or comment on that?

Thanks for your super informative posts on this!
