Topics characterized as pseudoscience!(2012 topped the list)

This is a list of topics that have, at one point or another in their history, been characterized as pseudoscience by academics or researchers.[1]
• 2012 millenarianism,
• Nibiru cataclysm(a prediction first made by contactee Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain., that a mythological planet Nibiru, would collide with Earth.)
• Channeling.
• Hypnosis as regards to the use of hypnotic regression beyond plausible limits, including past life regression.
• The Bates method for better eyesight
• Brain Gym
• Colon cleansing
• Crystal healing
• Magnet therapy – practice of using magnetic fields to positively influence health. While there are legitimate medical uses for magnets and magnetic fields, the field strength used in magnetic therapy is too low to effect any biological change.
• Meridians –There is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of meridians.
• Zecharia Sitchin-– proposed that ancient Sumerian cuneiform suggests that ancient astronauts visited Earth and created human beings through biogenetics. Sitchins claims that these writings tell of a Planet X beyond the dwarf planet Pluto.

This is only a sample. Some of these examples may be the power of suggestion, a false belief planted in the subconscious which may causing an involuntary motor response.

I was wondering whether Muscle Testing had been tested when the operator is blindfolded or when the thing being tested is in a paper bag (cigarettes, pills apples , organics, bottled water etc).
Can muscle testing determine winning lottery tickets?
Do winning lottery tickets have a higher vibration than losing lottery tickets?
Beliefs. Love or leave em, we all have me.
If you’re sick any means you use to get well are acceptable, provided you get well. If after the fact you find out it was due to the power of suggestion be grateful and move on with your life.

Do people who claim to channel make it up?
Do they hear spirit or God?
Or, was there some traumatic experience in their past to cause the belief so their subconscious mind would create one?
