You're confusing homeopathic medicine with something else, probably holistic medicine. Homeopathy is well-respected in the medical community and is just as "mystical" as aspirin. I don't buy most of that alternative medicine stuff, but believe it or not there are other ways of healing yourself aside from taking drugs and getting surgery. Certain types of food are better for the body than others, and stuff like ginger is good for you if you have a stomach ache. Nothing fantastical about that.
And what's mystical about the Atkins diet? I don't really follow it but it is a scientific fact that carbs pack in the fat, so a diet with limited amounts of carbohydrates probably would work for some people. But it's also vital for energy so I'd never do it.
