This article is praising a man who is very apt at selling lies. Not only is Kombucha (another bullshit health brand) ineffective in curing his mother's "so-called cancer" but even worse, causes serious side effects and occasional deaths which have been linked with drinking Kombucha.* Why would someone believe it is curing them of cancer if the mother who has sold this product was just as good as a snake oil salesman? I agree that the article has identified some faults of his in his industry, but praising him isn't doing any justice.
