So I guess this is the wrong thread for me to espouse the virtues of phrenology and breatharianism.

On the other hand, the ability of pyramids and crystals to concentrate and direct the healing rays emanating from the aquatic empires of Atlantis and Mu are well documented throughout the works of Edgar Cayce!

Shaking a juju stick over the patient has some value in some cases, but it's hard to get the dosage right for reproducible results.

Mock me if you must, but I still think there are many instances that home cures are every bit as valid as what you'll get from visiting from a doctor.

I agree - there are a lot of remedies and preventative measures that can be handled at home. But the more DIY you do, the more you have to watch out for quackery. And the specific things mentioned in the article sounded quite quackish.
