In fact, even if the doctors know then it is not valid.

It has to be "double blind".

Funny, in the first sentence, you admit that you are no expert and use the words "I believe," but then in the second sentence you're able to make a definite statement of "even if the doctors know then it is not valid."

I'll trust the experts and the knowledge from someone whose mother actually paid money to avoid being the placebo, as is the case with the person I talked to.
