You are right. There is no science behind it. But can it still work?

The fact that there may be no science behind something doesnt affect its efficacy at all if it is valid - gravity stubbornly operated long before science came around to explaining it. Life and a multitude of other things in our universe continue to operate in the scientific dark.
I would say its quite shortsighted and premature for anyone to suggest that something cant be true because there's no science currently behind it. It
could be because its bogus, or it could just mean nobody has invested any dollars in pursuing the science behind it yet, or it could be that our science is not advanced enough yet.
To write it off as unscientific and therefore nonsense simply because one cant find proof of it in a science journal is clearly premature. It reminds me of a story I read about critics of the Wright brothers. Even after reports of that first flight took place, engineering communities around the country blasted the reports as scurrilous nonsense and continued to assert that it was a scientifically impossible feat. Tsk! Tsk!
But having said that I also think its a responsible approach to hold these things up to the light and give them the proper scrutiny. I'm all for some healthy skepticism.
