Oh yes, less is more: extrapolated to its logical conclusion, this means that the best thing you can do with homeopathic remedies, even if you believe in them, is to take... well, none of it at all. Something Shakespearian about one's own petard springs eloquently to mind...

If you blindfold someone, tell them they are standing on the edge of a cliff when they are actually standing on the edge of a small step and then push them off, will they die from the placebo effect?
