Yeah, I thought lumping all those together was a bit of a stretch. The point behind doing that was more about the lack of peer-reviewed science and the generality of claims. My girlfriend does yoga, which is a form of exercise. For that, it's as good as anything else. However, the idea of cleansing some "energy force" is crossing the line into pseudoscience. Organic food may be tastier, but is it always healthier? Probably depends on the type of food, what was used on them, etc. It won't have magical healing powers though. The point of the movie is just to raise flags for "I should be skeptical of this."
