R u saying that doing no-fap will trigger a genetic reaction within ur DNA ?As far as the arguments of nofap as a placebo are concerned, it has to be kept in mind that all males dont have same genetic makeup, some good in some aspects, some in other, if nofap is not making any difference it might be a possibility that a person's genetic mekeup is quite strong and have taken the hits but after some time with age the shield will be down and vulnerabilities exposed. So as a precaution keeping limit is more providential.
Definitely it is not a placebo as my allergic rhinitis has been cured to a great extent. If my mind has done all the healing then i am certainly an extraordinary human being with mental power at par to angels, but i am an ordinary human being with my fair share of falls and triumphs.
Btw ur allergic reaction is caused by allergens, remove allergens and you won't be having any reaction.
Reintroduce allergens and you will be having a reaction.
