quackery

Also known as woo or alternative medicine, quackery encompasses all claims that something will improve your life with this one simple trick, boost your energy levels through positive radiation, or lead you to ascend to a higher plane of conciousness. All quackery has been proven untrue by conventional science.

"Hey dude, have you heard about how if you soak your eyeballs in piss every morning, it gives you 20/20 vision?"
"Nah man, that sounds like quackery to me!"
