I'm not the guy to defend the thing I'm asking about, but I think you might be painting with a broad brush here re: "Magic crystals and meditation. Meditation is shown to have measurable effects on the brain scientifically. Not that those effects matter or that I do it either ;-)
Ascribing results purely to Placebo bothers me a bit because on the one hand I tried it expecting zero results - firmly in the "we'll see about this" doubters camp. More to not be rude to my friend who was insisting I try. On the other maybe getting pricked in many placed acts as a placebo of sorts after all, involuntarily?
All I know is my PF was better the next morning, hard to argue against that. Elbow, zero difference. 50-50. Will try again and report.
