Oftentimes they make remarkably convincing cases, even carrying professional credentials that provide them the veneer of respectability.

This is especially true if it’s a hefty medical claim.
It is the same practice regularly embraced by quack researchers.
It’s a fair question and often a tough one.
It’s another if a product claims to treat or cure a specific disease.
If ever encountering such a product, take any testimonial you see with a grain of salt.
Use your best judgment and, better yet, contact your healthcare provider for advice.
And that’s fair.
But the fact that something has been around for centuries doesn’t always translate to the larger consumer market.
As a result, some countries have actively barred the sale of the product in any form.
And that’s the point.
The fact that something is shown to be inconclusive doesnt mean that it is inherently wrong.
It simply means that we, as a scientific community, do not know.
The same cannot be said for quack science.
There is no room for introspection; no uncertainties to be explored.
