Yes, anybody can write a book that sounds promising, and desperate people sometimes fall victim to scams. But I don't think it's fair to dismiss all alt therapies just because there happen to be some charlatans out there. There is growing body of evidence for a lot of it, the problem is separating the good from the bad. That's why it's helpful to have people like Bleauberry advise us. It's pretty clear that he's done his homework and isn't promoting things blindly. The guys knows his stuff.
He also never suggested that alt treatments are the only answer. As mentioned before, he also knew a lot about meds and advocated their use. But he also encouraged a larger overall strategy, which I think could be useful for many of us who are not gaining full remission with meds. Here's an example of this viewpoint:

Using the analogy he used in that post, I don't think he would encourage anyone to place all their money on any single treatment, alt or conventional. It's the idea of looking at the bigger picture that I really appreciated about Bleauberry. I don't think a lot of us do that enough.
