Placebo?

Hey folks! I was talking to a friend online and he suggested that raw food doesn't actually do all that miracle stuff, that it is more like a placebo. What are your thoughts on this? Is there any evidence out there that suggests that raw food actually does the stuff it's claimed to do like cure colitis and all that? I mean, how can a placebo cure certain cancers and diabetes?

Hey basically I was looking for some scientific studies regarding the raw diet and I found a bunch of good ones, but if anyone has more that would be great!
