In general I agree though that's not to say that some things in those disciplines aren't without merit.
A naturopath giving nutrition and lifestyle counseling isn't giving bad information, and not all chiropractors are of the full body x-ray / don't vaccinate your kids / disease is caused by subluxations quacks, some are closer to physio types, and there is some merit to some acupuncture (though not because of chi and lay lines).
I don't disagree that the lack of personal interaction and support from a doctor factor in the industry either, there's been studies on that as well.
However the real problem I see with these things is it still promotes magical thinking.. there's no physical harm in visiting someone and going home with expensive vials of water to drink, but there is still a harm overall.
