Absolutely! It's a shame that so many boosters for alternative medicine pair it with distrust of conventional medicine. They are often preying on people's bad experiences with the medical industry, and neglect to mention that some of these alternatives are also billion dollar industries!
In the theme of this thread, all those books written in bad faith would be my nomination, though it's impossible to screen for that.

Despite some bad experiences, many people I encounter seem to reason like you and I. This is very good, I think.
“In bad faith” was a good and succinct collective descriptor for books I think deserve to be burnt (though as you conclude, impossible to screen for). I know the expression well, though I did not think of it (English as second language).
