From a very, very long list, this one is still my favorite.

Holistic Flatulence Therapy
Holistic Flatulence Therapy, or HFT, is a form of alternative medicine that uses group flatulence sessions, followed by the application of essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person’s mood, cognitive function or health. The effectiveness of HFT is yet to be scientifically proven; however some evidence exists that the essential oils used may have some therapeutic potential.[1]
First practiced by Archibald and Melinda Schaal of Santa Cruz, California in 1978, HFT sessions are commonly held by 6 to 12 individuals who all agree to ingest a specific type of food on the evening before the session. Usually, a smaller amount of the same food is eaten the following breakfast and lunch.
Mostly these meals are vegan , rice-based dishes consisting of large amount of onions, alfalfa sprouts, tofu and kidney beans.
During the sessions the participants, in turn, emit the gasses produced by the food mixture while the other members of the group evaluate the emitter’s health by sniffing the flatulence.
After a consensus is formed, the group will then recommend a specific essential oil for the individual to use for a period of 3 weeks, to alleviate whatever ailment was detected.

Now you know how I feel every smegging day.
The entire world is my Cliff Richard concert.
I am amazed that I haven’t succumbed yet to total and complete curmudgeondom by the incessant bombardment of jackassery, tomfoolery and fiddlesticks by a never ending horde of alternative douchenozzles and woo-peddling fuckwits.

Well I have read, heard and seen quite some shocking things. But there where you think you have hit rock bottom of how low the human intellect can drop I get to know about HFT and “BAM” I hit an even lower bottom.
Still… it is better to know.

And where, according to the wiki article, is the essential oil applied?
I have heard of an alternate form of HFT, used in deep East Texas, in which beer-battered alligator testicles are substituted for the alfalfa sprouts. This results in a snappier flatulence that causes a musical vibration. Instead of sniffing, the group diagnoses the illness by determining the note (as in A, B#, etc.) emitted by the flatulator. An even rarer form of the treatment, practiced (as far as I can tell) only in one incestuous corner of Newton County, Texas, employs a cigarette lighter held next to the anal orifice during the act of flatulence. Diagnosis of health condition is accomplished by spectral analysis of the flatulatory flame.

I highly doubt there are enough male Alligators in the world to match the problems these people have…
Reiki is practiced by some of the nurses in our local hospital. It is a form of energy healing. It is popular and growing. I have treated several reiki masters. They are almost all nurses. I don’t know why our system of medicine would encourage well meaning professionals to embark on such a path.
