Sounds like protein shakes are an effective placebo for you (as well as a day of rest) I know it's a lot to ask, but 'Where's the science, please?'.
Currently, there are no known, quantifiable, testable (and all of those other science-y words) treatment for DOMS (Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness). There has been some recent promising studies on protease enzyme supplementation, but that is very preliminary and not even close to being useful for the general population.
By the way, that link to the protein shake containing raw egg whites is downright dangerous advice. It shows a complete lack of any understanding of science, mathematics or statistics. (If Salmonella is found in one in 30,000 eggs, which is HIGHLY debatable, it doesn't mean you personally have to eat 30,000 eggs to get one with salmonella.)
