Its probably not the view everybody takes, but I tend to follow Orac's lead on his irregular "Your Friday Dose of Woo" over on Respectful Insolence. Things like "Atlantean Power Crystals", which apparently-
"incorporates the toroidal power of implosion, orgone energy, phi harmonics, tensor fields, sonics and ultasonics, visible and invisible light spectrum energy and, most crucially, a unique energy template within the crystalline matrix of The Atlantean Power Crystal™"
I don't need a degree in physics to spot that this is bullshit of the first order, although the fact that it-
"It emits neutrinos, enabling the correction of intracellular frequencies. It reorients the psychic channels, increasing intuition and psychic perception through the correction of molecular frequencies in the cerebral cortex."
somewhat worries me given that it sounds it needs to be kept in a lead box and never taken out. I think that's "woo"- appropriating sciency sounding words to try and explain how your "treatment" works. The thing about this is that its largely harmless other than hurting one's wallet. Whereas homeopathy, Matthias Rath, anti-vaxxers, etc have the potential to kill people because of the things they promote that actively cause harm through refusing effective treatments. That stops being woo, and starts being something altogether more dangerous.
