I have no fundamental problem with somebody believing in or even recommending untested treatment. I might argue with it, but everyone has a right to believe in what they believe in.
I have plenty of my own pet theories and remedies.

What I have a problem with is the very deceptive sales practices this guy was using. I'd enumerate them, but I'm afraid I'd end up seeming uncivil.

You're lumping this under the category of "alternative treatments we have to keep an open mind about." This is different this falls under "scams and deception you don't know how to deal with."
