Oh, yes you did.

Then why mention it at all?

No, the topic is shaking viruses to death with a zapper. You brought
up "spontaneous remission" and "placebo effect" as possible mechanisms
by which the zapper might do its work. Put another way, you said that
the zapper doesn't work because something else is going on.

You might like to point to where I have said this. It will be
difficult, if not impossible, as I have never said it. They certainly
do exist and are among the reasons that people get fooled by
fraudulent treatments such as zappers.

It must have been someone else who suggested spending $100 to make or
buy a zapper. Would that be spending money?

Nice rant. Have you ever thought of taking up professional ranting?
