They exist because they give the impression of meaning something medically significant, whilst giving the Supplementary, Complementary or Alternative Medicine (SCAM) practitioner no obligation to deliver anything remotely resembling actual medical treatment.

"Does this Rainbow Reiki Therapy help my liver cancer then?"

"Not directly, but by holistically stimulating the body's energy meridians, it will enhance wellness and help your system return to a healthful state."

"Really?"

"No, but at least I get £40 off you before you cark it."
