I'm missing something. Its purported mechanism is purely physical,
something about smoothness of muscle movement and taste and smell
responses caused by imbalances in the body. How would applies kinesiology
even be a candidate to be called kishuf?

I won't get into questions of endangering patients who might be lulled
out of seeking more effective treatments or geneivas da'as.

Tir'u baTov!
