ALVAREZ GONZALEZ, Julio. Pseudoscience language. Energy or Pyramidal effect. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1729-519X.

“Pyramidal therapy” is commonly used in some Cuban health institutions. However, “pyramidal energy” has never been measured and it is not known the underlying mechanism that produces its supposed actions. There are no rigorous studies that for certain have proven its therapeutic powers. Promoters of this therapy have proposed that this kind of “energy”, produces some biological effects but they have not published studies supporting the existence of these effects or the absence of adverse effects. Since this entail ethical repercussions we decided to review the probable consequences of some of these biological effects. The proposed biological effects are potentially hazardous. If supporters of this therapy are convinced of the proposed biological actions they should first, demonstrate them with scientific rigor. Second they are compelled to do precise studies to demonstrate the lack of adverse effects of the supposed actions of this therapy.
