Yes, Medical practices, almost always dealing with a person's well-being and life, must prioritize the safety of the person involved. Therefore, to remove or even lessen the risk to a person's life, all procedures done to them must always have a scientific backing, not one backed with beliefs and hoaxes.

What exactly is Quackery? It is the characteristic practice of quacks or charlatans, who pretend to knowledge and skill that they do not possess, particularly in medicine. The quack makes exaggerated claims about his or her ability to heal disease, generally for financial gain.

The conditions usually treated by quacks are those for which specific methods of treatment have not yet been developed; those particularly feared, such as cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, and, in the past, tuberculosis; those with frequent remissions and recurrences, such as arthritis, neuritis, and migraine; and mental disorders. People yield to quackery in times of great stress, pain, or sorrow. In the absence of exact knowledge, and sometimes even in its presence in the face of insurmountable difficulties, the credulous person craves a miracle and is ready to be overwhelmed by the personality and the claims of the charlatan.
