I think the problem with it being ignored is based on how little is known about it. There is no academic or medical acceptance, there is no standardization, there are "professionals" as well as self-practitioners, and there is little or no peer-reviewed and published research about it that I know of.
This is a tough act to support. The self-help/new age thing doesn't help, either. It puts it in the same category as astrology and crystal therapy.
