Oh, you have done good to question this. It is a pseudoscience. I quickly slapped together an uncomplete list how to spot bullshit. Just from your description, I would say at least three boxes are checked here.

• Overgeneralization: A single phenomenon is claimed to explain a wide range of unrelated issues.

• One-size-fits-all solutions: A single treatment or method is said to cure multiple, diverse ailments.

• Lack of specificity: Claims are vague and lack detailed mechanisms or explanations.

• Appeal to tradition: Claims are based on historical practices rather than scientific evidence.

• Extraordinary claims without extraordinary evidence: Bold assertions are made without sufficient proof.

• Emphasis on personal testimonials: Reliance on individual stories rather than systematic research.

• Use of jargon: Complex terminology is used to sound credible without substantive backing.

• Avoidance of peer scrutiny: Claims are not subjected to rigorous testing or peer review.

• Dichotomous thinking: Issues are framed in black-and-white terms, ignoring nuances and complexities.
