IMHO, AK is yes, on the list - but I'm sure I can find many more things ahead of it in silliness. For example, the notion that putting a crystal on somebody's forehead is going to make them well...sans any other realistic treatment.
There's a new one every day - oh yes, another favorite is the "Tibetan Bowl Massage" someone I know sells...(sigh). You get a metal bowl, burn some sage torches, and a Tibetan monk (theoretical, can't prove he is or isn't one really) and you charge oh, about 100 dollars a session. You get the monk to chant as you burn the torch, and you have the monk touch the bowl. Then you take the bowl and touch the injured shoulder (in this case). No actual massage is done (in fact, you don't touch the client at all after touching the bowl to them...."you might disturb the energy".). Needless to say, if this was truly effective, I'd be out finding a monk I could work with, it would really reduce some of the mileage I take on doing the heavy massage work here! :)
Another chiro "technique" one of my clients told me he was subjected to was the tuning fork to the vertebrae - for 400 dollars a session.
There are people making a better living than I do by way of the placebo effect IMHO - but I'm not willing to take that long walk off a short pier personally, I choose to remain within practice in therapeutic/medical massage.
None of these are really dangerous, just silly and expensive. They rely heavily on believe and finding those who believe them even in this economy, well, they're still well funded apparently.
The more dangerous trend IMHO is to tell folks they have "dangerously low adrenal function" and offer to treat it.... when clients tell me they're taking sheep's gland extracts and other things as instructed by their chiro without the knowledge or blood test by their PCP or other specialist, all I can do is strongly suggest they get their MD involved....sigh. Some have given me pamphlets they received claiming "80% of all adults have adrenal dysfunction/ failure".
I think AK is relatively mild compared to some of these above.

Subject: [Supertraining] Applied Kinesiology by Any Other Name… | Science-Based Medicine
Applied kinesiology (AK) was briefly mentioned in Scott Gavura's article on Food Intolerance Tests last week. Since AK is arguably the second silliest thing in CAM after homeopathy, I thought it wouldn't hurt to say a little more about it.
