Lack of evidence is not the same as evidence of lack.
One of the great scientific fallacies is believing that today's science has all or even most of the answers. History has taught us over and over that the science of today has but a fraction of the answers and the answers it thinks it has are frequently overturned tomorrow. Because science once did not understand gravity did not mean it did not exist. Once science held that the earth was flat and later on men were burned at the stake for suggesting that the universe did not revolve around the earth.
Did lack of understanding of relatively prevent it from being there? Of lack of proof of anything smaller than the atom mean there was no such item?
Until recently, mainstream medicine labeled aromatherapy as unproven quackery (and many still do). Then last year scientists in Japan proved beyond a doubt that it had a scientific basis and worked.
Not understanding or being able to quantify homeopathy or accupuncture or reiki is not absolute proof that there are not forces and mechanisms that form an underlying basis for such treatments, it is only absolute proof that we are unable to fully understand or measure such forces if they do indeed exist.
I am convinced that scientific knowledge will continue to make new discoveries and overturn old beliefs the same as it always has. I am also convinced that someday man will look back on today's medical science which treats symptoms instead of heals, pays precious little attention to prevention and uses unnatural compounds, synthetics and unique isolates not found in that form in nature which have side effects over 95% of the time as the true dark ages of medical history.
Nowhere will there be a more stark example of modern day quackery than the past 40 years of cancer treatments where medical science has clung to the tried and failed methods of trying to cut out, poison out or burn out the symptoms of cancer instead of correcting the causes and healing it permanently - and as a result more people die from their cancer treatments than die from their cancers.
