I have an anti-success story as evidence against "placebo". My last bout of iritis occurred when I broke my diet without realizing it had happened -- bad stuff was slipped into my customary almond cookies. It was only after my flare started that I discovered my favorite baker had run out of vanilla flavoring and substituted vanilla powder without reading the ingredients carefully enough.
