I think the most glaring mistake you are making is comparing people like Mendel to this guy. Just because one out of a million absurd ideas end up being truthful it doesn't mean all ideas should be given equal weight. Mendel was also working in a time where little was understood about chemistry and biology. Our knowledge now is such that we can quickly discount bogus claims.
Also, once you mention "big pharma" your anti-medicine bias shines through.
This Mexican quack is free to perform peer reviewed research on his ideas, instead he finds a platform (celebrities) to quickly drum interest in his idea and to start making money hand over fist. Yet you do no not talk about big alternative medicine taking advantage of people.
