it's so disappointing otherwise sane people cling to that nonsense, I've seen first hand people reach for homeopathy and crystals over getting qualified physician advice (and suffering the consequences), it's sad
They are avoiding potential iatrogenic consequences.
I've never met anyone who has (openly) subscribed to homeopathy. And most use I've seen of energy methods is to treat the psyche, not physical illnesses. (Not that people don't -- it's just not something I've observed in the trend I noted.) Not too different from mainstream religions to be honest.
