I may be wrong, but I didn't think science proved the existence of anything, it just tests the properties and effects of things so we can learn more about them. Existence is a philosophical question. We experience a seemingly material universe, but we can only measure the effects of it. We can only measure what we can observe.

There's no difference in studying the 'spiritual' or different methods of health care. We can test the properties and effects. The question is, *will* we study those things? If science believes it's not even worth looking at, then I guess not.
