How are we defining "New Age superstition"?

I just don't "get" new age/Eastern medicine.  Yea, over time they stumbled on some effective herbal remedy.  But this "natural is better" stuff is absurd.  We have a rigorous scientific testing schema which we're abandoning for "it grows in the ground, so it's not bad like those pills you hear about"?  Just don't get it.

And, Tarot...well, dead horse.

Yeah, I have no problem with herbal remedies.  Some of them are quite effective.  My beef's with ignoring the scientific method because "natural" remedies are somehow inherently more pure than "chemicals," or whatever.  Basically I have problem with people who have no idea what they're talking about but are still adamant.  Myself excepted Tongue
