*quackery is the promotion of [(fraudulent / ignorant) medical practices]*
.
(a quack is a “fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill” or “a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan or snake oil salesman”)
(the term quack is a clipped form of the archaic term quacksalver, from dutch: quacksalver a “hawker of salve“)
(in the ‘middle ages’, the term quack meant “shouting”)
(the ‘quacksalvers’ sold their ‘wares’ on the market shouting in a loud voice)
(common elements of ‘general quackery’ include ‘questionable diagnoses’ using ‘questionable diagnostic tests’, as well as ‘alternative’ or ‘refuted’ treatments, especially for serious diseases such as ‘cancer’)
(‘quackery’ is often described as “health fraud” with the salient characteristic of ‘aggressive promotion’)
