Don't forget homeopathy, e.g., oscillococcinum is duck liver diluted by 10⁴⁰⁰. A while back there was a segment on my local NPR station discussing homeopathy. A representative from Boiron was testifying before Congress. She was asked about oscillococcinum. A congressional representative asked "...so this is made from duck liver, is it safe?" She said "Of course it's safe, there's nothing in it." At $1 per tablet, it must be a pretty good placebo.
