> There are always people involved that knew about his situation lied to him, took his money for fake cures and fake diagnosis. Probably, but I'm not at all sure how many. People believe in the weirdest things, and some make a business out of it not to exploit the gullible, but because they actually believe in it as well. When I talked to Feng Shui consultants I never got the faintest hint of them suppressing laughter and about to burst out what a great gig it is and how stupid the clients are. I see no reason why that shouldn't be similar in the "alternative medicine" field. There are certainly some that exploit it, but I'm absolutely not sure that they are the majority or even a sizable minority. People believe in the weirdest things.
