Quackery is a derogatory term used to describe the promotion of unproven or fraudulent medical practices. Random House Dictionary describes a ""quack"" as 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. "" The word ""quack"" derives from the archaic word ""quacksalver,"" of Dutch origin (spelled kwakzalver in contemporary Dutch), meaning ""boaster who applies a salve.
