I agree that we should generally support the terminally ill in their efforts to seek alternative therapies. However, the point of the article is to highlight the rampant misinformation available online. Conspiracy theories about the medical industry neither provide useful solutions nor palliative care to the terminally ill. These theories are often propagated by perfectly healthy people preying on the vulnerabilities of the sick and their despondent relatives.
