b) all of the scams fuck off and stop preying on gullible people
c) mix of both

people turn to alternative medicine when conventional medicine fails them
steve mcqueen spent something like a million dollars trying to treat his mesothelioma

i dont give a fuck if they genuinely believe touching gemstones can cure chronic illnesses. if they are making fat stacks off gullible rich people then then government should get a sizeable cut
