hahah @archaia sophia has it right; new age quackery is an apt name for it. But, I think it's also about the people who seek comfort and meaning in such rituals and procedures. Lines like "you gotta help me I'm falling" emphasize how pathetic it is to seek salvation from crack pot doctors, gurus or others who care more about making money ('when my bank card clears') than helping people.
