Well, some people still do. Examples include homeopathy, intercessory prayer, and those guys who make YouTube videos of themselves chanting at you to cure diseases somehow.

(Caveat: I assume those chanting videos are part of an age-old tradition, because the people in them say so, but they may not be the most reliable source of information.)
