Sorry, but alot of the treatments we “mainstream” allopaths provide, with such little evidence to support outcomes, could be so labeled…Only I’d go with VERY expensive placebos.
You want the list?
Mix one part gullible seeker with one part testimonial, one part magic show, and one part snake oil and *BOOM* you’ve got my sister-in-law. She knows everything right up to the point she says “I don’t know how it works, but it works.” Three weeks later, she has abandoned it for something new that “works.” Luckily, she doesn’t have anything serious other than some mental disorder.
