      I haven’t found that problem with the word @TheSGEM I have found serious and deadly problems with the therapies they suggest.

      In my opinion/experience, those who dislike terms such as woo/pseudoscience have been its defenders—attempts at such language control is deflection. Being triggered by scientific critiques and inability to de-personalize from these critiques doesn’t justify expiring the terms.

      Sums things up perfectly 😀 Does at least show though that your view is not all-pervasive. With the Sci Am author on this one. 'The term lacks a coherent meaning and leads to unnecessary polarization, mistrust, disrespectfulness, and confusion around science issues.'

      So, replace it with what? Quackery? Bugnuttery? Brain-dead inanity? Fractal wrongness? Anti-science? Witchcraft? Lots of choices.

      Perhaps replace it with respectful discussion rather than juvenile insult?

      Respect has to be earned. In this case, earned the hard way, through empirical evidence rigorously obtained and vetted. Reiki, et al, is magical thinking. Nonsense on a stick. Tl:dr - No.

      So you begin always from a position of disrespect do you? You must be very popular.

      I always begin from a position of skepticism. In the case of woo woo, disrespect has been earned in spades. Show me the well-designed, well-conducted, well-controlled, double-blind studies that pass rigorous peer review. Reiki was debunked by an 8th grader.

      Not even the CAM professional bodies claim Reiki is evidenced. Unsure what the obsession with it is (not just you, it's a recurrent theme). Scepticism is good, with you all the way. Just don't accept RCT data is the only acceptable form of evidence.

          Evidence. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

          It's true that pseudoscience organizations often don't make such claims directly. They crank out vague and legally evasive propaganda which emulates the rough form of real science, and they let their members do the specific lying.

          No different from the supplement industry. Everything "supports immune health" (or whatever), never mind that "support" is a meaningless word, and disregard that fine-print disclaimer at the bottom of every ad.

          https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/wellness/integrative/treatments-services/reiki … The Cleveland Clinic ... once one of the most-respected medical institutions in the world ... would like to have a word with you about reiki. THIS is why pseudoscience is harmful. It lets in things YOU YOURSELF say are ineffective. Why? Because $$$$.

          Perhaps because people continue to charge money for scientifically impossible methods of "healing".

          "Follow the money" is the first rule of journalism. Widely applicable to a variety of settings.
