A CLAIRVOYANT has been banned from claiming she could cure everything from witchcraft to depression . . . because she can't prove it.
Sister Charlotte, a successful crystal ball, tarot card and palm reader from Chorlton, Manchester, claimed to be able to solve problems in love, marriage, business, exams and even immigration.

Penn & Teller Bullsh*t - Series 6 Episode 2: "New Age Medicine"
Nobody ever gets sick in China. Okay, that would be true if Eastern Medicine were actually worth a monkey's ass. But here’s the truth: sticking acupuncture needles in your feet will not cure your asthma; the Chinese practice of cupping does nothing more than leave ugly red marks on your back; and the Japanese “art” of reiki won’t channel your spiritual energy for healing – it’ll just channel your money into the reiki “artist’s” pocket.
At least Tiger Penis soup tastes delicious, even if it – like all the other Chinese herbal potions – doesn’t cure a damn thing. We're taking down the charlatans who prey on the seriously ill with this unproven, unscientific, and unbelievably dumb type of "medicine."

Professor Edzard Ernst is the first Professor of Complementary Medicine in the United Kingdom, yet he is not some woo merchant, instead he has for years investigated and tested various alternative medicines.
Well now Professor Edzard Ernst is putting up £10,000 to be given to the first person who can show homeopathy is better than a placebo in a scientifically controlled trial.
