I believe that literally every esotheric and nonesotheric bullshit is more trustworthy than everything a politician says at any given moment.

Mind-body. That you can think yourself sick, or well. Not like magic, but a lot of the time. Like how people won't get sick until vacation a lot of the time, they say "don't have time to get sick" so then on the day off, the mind tells the body "ok now you have time!". All of my kids were born on a day off or weekend, same thing in a way. And once I read a book where the protagonist' hands were burned, very vividly described, and got blisters on my fingertips.
I just really believe a lot of physical illness, and health, comes from thinking.
That's a long list I've only skimmed it and I didn't find the theory I like most, the stoned ape theory. That belief that some distant ancestors ate some shrooms and discovered art and a higher state of mind. I've taken a microdose a little too high and my vision was like an impressionist painting for a few moments and it made me so happy because Monet and Van Gogh now made absolute sense.
It might be a little too convenient but I think it works and it's really sweet.
The full moon does something to people's brains and makes them act weirder than usual.
There's been more than one time when I've been out and thought people were driving crazier than usual or people on the bus were being more psycho than they normally are, and I've looked it up and it's been within like 2 days of the full moon on either side.
People are ~70% water and the moon does move the entire ocean around, so maybe it's something to do with that?
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.
That wiki article is very biased.
It also has problems distinguishing pseudo medicine (proven not to work) from alternative medicine (not conclusively proved or disproved).
I like all the ones you listed and I love βwoowoomancerβ as a description. Other than those, I have a good feel for future sight.
If you know the future you should be doing good with this power! There's so many things we need to stop before they happen, falling down stairs, health conditions, the questions we're gonna be asked in court!
Wikipedia is a terrible source for the likes of this.
Acupuncture, to a certain extent. There's obviously something to it (a friend of mine went there because of various issues, and it helped), but the actual science isn't nailed down yet.
My insurance pays for it which I find shocking. I do find it helpful whether it's placebo or something else, and since it's covered I do it.
