Came across a list of pseudosciences and was fun seeing where im woo woo.

Lunar effect – the belief that the full Moon influences human and animal behavior.

Ley Lines

Accupressure/puncture

Ayurveda

Body Memory

Faith healing

Anyway, list too long to read. I guess Im quite the nonscientific woowoomancer. How about you? What pseudoscience do you believe? Also I believe nearly every stone i find was an ancient indian stone. Also manifesting and or prayer to manipulate via subconscious aligning the future. oh and the ability to subconsciously deeply understand animals, know the future, etc

I've had good luck with acupuncture. In one extreme case it fixed my bell palsy months faster that the doctor said it would heal.

Wikipedia is a terrible source for the likes of this.

I try to follow truth whenever it leads, I guess the closest was when I was younger and wanted dragons to be real, but I didn't really believe it.

Acupuncture isn't a pseudoscience, anyway, it's science. It has been actually proved to work.
