::::Let's be clear that calling things "spurious" is your POV and that of like-thinkers to you. Even medical professionals with attest to the value of spiritual state in physical healing and it is mostly atheists and the most close-minded of believers in Scientism that will deny the obvious; that the spirit of man has a part in his mental and physical health. Good luck with that position cause you are way in the minority on this planet (thank God). So it is not "massively controversial" but is not much controversial at all. And if some report or other said that the practices are dangerous then so what; that is not, by any means, a blanket condemnation; it is one report. And is Scientology now allowed in Australia? So what then of that report? We can all show each other reports. Based on your comments above, I now think that "controversial" is indeed code for "dubious".
