Fair enough. Though I do want to say anecdotally at least that mind over matter can be pretty powerful stuff... Placebo's and Nocebo effects wouldn't exist without it.

True. I'd still rather listen to what my oncologist has to say, though.

That's what Val Kilmer did, yep.

FYI: whether the placebo effect even exists is somewhat controversial (in a different way from does god exist). https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=placebo+effect+myth There certainly is a lot of bad science and misinformation about the placebo effect.

This seems to be a search that contains one editorial-style article (it isn't labeled as opinion/editorial, and is published in what superficially seems to be a research journal, but it is neither a study or meta-analysis, simply a stream of conclusion opinions and just so statements) and lots of secondary reporting of that same article.

The first step to adopting realism is to stop believing spy fictions and TV shows have relevance to reality. You are a caricature.

Reminds me of a Mark Twain quote: It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Said the person unironically citing a TV Show as justification for the plausibility of their hilariously out of touch fake theory.
