The snake oil salesman slur is all about the money he makes on Patreon, which has inspired a tremendous amount of jealousy and resentment in Canadian academia.

And if he stuck to his field, I'd be more inclined to take him at face value. Instead he continuously acts as a credible authority and wades out of his depth into areas that are quite clearly beyond his expertise, as has been noted by both CHL and myself and the in the article CHL posted.
EDIT: Also I'm sure some practicing MDs are jealous of the money that homeopaths and other woo practitioners is make, but that doesn't make their huckster charges any less valid.
