I would be better informed about the science, but I am actually interested on their effect on my system - that effect may be purely psychological, but if the effect is enough to give more pleasure to the music, then that is reason enough to use them. -- MrBitsy Rover 75 CDTi

If taking a placebo helped ones body fight an infection through a sychological response, then that only goes to prove how one must not only address the science in such things. -- MrBitsy Rover 75 CDTi
