As someone with a scientific background I get your point @Dysonant about making claims that don't necessarily have a solid evidence backing. However, I have also seen in my career striking examples of how just the expectation of good (placebo effect) or harm (nocebo effect) can dramatically influence a person's lived experience. With that in mind I have mellowed somewhat on my scientific principals and am more OK with seeing 'unscientific' remedies that can still nonetheless help people.
