Sounds like a crock to me. Show me some proper studies on the treatment. Reminds me of a Dawkins quote (I'm all about Richard Dawkins quotes):
Quote:

Either it is true that a medicine works or it isn't. It cannot be false in the ordinary sense but true in some "alternative" sense. If a therapy or treatment is anything more than a placebo, properly conducted double-blind trials, statistically analyzed, will eventually bring it through with flying colours. Many candidates for recognition as "orthodox" medicines fail the test and are summarily dropped. The "alternative" label should not (though, alas, it does) provide immunity from the same fate.

Also, it greatly disturbs me that there is a "White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy". Ugh!
