We need to separate two concernts:
1- Does it work?
2- Is it Mutar?

I believe RNS would say it neither works nor is permissible. Whereas
RYGB would say is could well work, but would still be assur.

History says it's darkhei Emori. So the question could be how one
undestands the idea that something done for medince trumps derekh
Emori. Does the intent matir, or does it need to be established as
effective?

(And it culd well have been wrongsly "proven" effective, but lo nitnah
haTorah lemal'akhei hashareis.)

And why do the Chakhamim say (Shabbos 61a) prohibit carrying a foxes
tooth (even during the week)?

Tir'u baTov!
