151. Homeopathy is not woo because Reiki cures fibromyalgia and it's good to exercise.

I can play too!

Homeopathy is not woo because...

1. Aliens visitors probe our rectums, and some people with osteoporosis can benefit from increased vitamin D.
2. People from Atlantis built the pyramids and breastfeeding is the best way to feed most newborns.
3. Chiropractic can cure sinus infections and some people have their mood lifted by listening to music.
4. Ass candling can help treat colon cancer and you should avoid too much sun exposure to help fight skin cancer.
5. We create reality with the power of our minds and dogs should not be fed chocolate.
6. All disease is actually caused by liver flukes and some alcoholics might benefit from B vitamin supplements.
7. All disease is actually caused by yeast infections and it's best to apply direct pressure to most bleeding wounds.
8. All disease is actually caused by negative energy and we should all wash our hands after using the restroom.

It's a great pattern. <Foo> isn't woo because <unrelated crazy bullshit> and <uncontroversial and completely unrelated fact that's well understood by science and modern medicine>.

No, woo doesn't own diet and exercise. I currently teach nutrition to kiddies who plan to go on to work in healthcare. It's required to get into the local nursing program. It's an intro class, and we very much have to rush through it. Even so, after just one simple class, every one of them will understand it far, far better than near every woo practitioner i've ever seen try to claim diet or exercise in the name of <crazy bullshit X>.
