Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific, alternative medicine practice that uses semiprecious stones and crystals such as quartz, agate, amethyst or opal. Adherents of the practice claim that these have healing powers, but there is no scientific basis for this claim. Practitioners of crystal healing believe they can boost low energy, prevent bad energy, release blocked energy, and transform a body's aura. Believers in crystal healing engage in various physical activities with crystals, typically involving holding, wearing, placing or meditating with the stones. While the practice is popular, it fosters commercial demand for crystals, which can result in environmental damage and exploitative c…

Dual-Modal Phototherapeutic Nanoagents Eradicating Drug-Resistant Bacteria via Multi-Pathway of Membrane Disruption, Oxidative Damage, and Energy Metabolism Interference.. Faced with the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance, developing non-antibiotic therapies is imperative. Photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) are promising due to their minimal side effects and low risk of resistance. However, their efficacy is limited by inadequate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, finite photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), bacterial antioxidant systems, biofilm barriers, and the constraints of single-modality treatments. To overcome these bottlenecks, this study innovati…

Energy medicine is a branch of alternative medicine based on a pseudo-scientific belief that healers can channel "healing energy" into patients and effect positive results. This esoteric concept of "energy" used by proponents of energy medicine is unrelated to the scientific concept of energy. The field is defined by shared beliefs and practices relating to mysticism and esotericism in the wider alternative medicine sphere rather than any unified terminology, leading to terms such as energy healing, vibrational medicine, and similar terms being used synonymously. Practitioners may classify their practice as hands-on, hands-off, or distant, wherein the patient and healer are in different loc…

Application of Amorphous Nanomaterials in Dentistry: A Comprehensive Review.. Conventional dental materials with organised crystal structures exhibit limitations in corrosion resistance, bioactivity, and drug delivery capability. In contrast, amorphous nanomaterials offer potential advantages in overcoming these limitations due to their unique structural properties. They are characterised by a non-crystalline, disordered atomic structure and are similar to a solidified liquid at the nanoscale. Among the amorphous nanomaterials used in dentistry, there are five major categories: calcium-, silicon-, magnesium-, zirconia-, and polymer-based systems. This study reviewed these amorphous nanomate…
