This is an English translation of the Norwegian article written by a blogger who wants to remain anonymous.

Thanks to Marcus Glenton Prescott for the translation!

Quite a few people buy into this, but as we see time after time when we scratch the surface; these noble suppliers of alternative treatments or nutritional supplements without documented effects are as a rule driven by economic motives.
