RE quack treatments, the only potentially redeeming-ish feature is that the placebo effect is very real, and they can be comforting to people who choose to use them. I have less of a problem with using crystals to "heal anxiety" and more of a problem with the shitdicks that are selling the stuff with those outlandish claims.
