13. "require an allopathic screening prior..."???

Are you kidding? How the heck could you enforce that?

Clearly the placebo treatments would become known, and frauds would simply set up shop and offer the services direct. The danger of people seeking placebos first and delaying (or foregoing) conventional treatment is far too real. There is no simple answer here. That's why it's an ethical dilemma.

Your red herring about the problems with allopathic medicine is an issue unto itself and has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Best summed up by "two wrongs don't make a right."
