You should be clear on that as it would seem that you are mocking herbal / natural health treatments by lumping them in with the new age and occult.

Nah, it's still mocking healthy eating and lifestyle habits, natural remedies and herbal treatments as shaman and witch doctoring.
You know, you're probably right icyffroth.
As a side mention, I came across an on-line application for a job to work social media venues. It was in the US actually. The job was to work for one of the pharmaceutical companies. Presumably it was to influence discussions on forums and possibly stifle debate. This practice has been going on for years. For those that think this thing doesn't happen. Look at davidc's thread below.
did police go too far?

Well, the above shows what people are capable of. Just think the above as on-line and not physical and the possibilities are endless.

Monsanto Hires Internet Trolls to Cover Up Roundup’s Cancer Risk
May. 11, 2017 09:16AM EST
By Josh Gay
Internet trolls, paid for by Monsanto, have been scouring the internet to hide the ugly truth about the herbicide Roundup and the dangers of glyphosate, while the chemical giant worked with government regulators to declare the product safe to use, even though it "probably" causes cancer.
According to court documents, Monsanto hired third parties to search out negative comments about their products and counter them with pseudo-scientific research commissioned by the company itself.

With some pharmaceutical companies that may also engage this strategy, I wonder how their shareholders would feel?
I'm not suggesting that they all would be doing such a thing. Just worth a consideration though.
Personally, if I invest my money in a company. I would like to make sure that they'll give me a good return for my investment. But if they resort to nefarious tactics to make money, I'll have second thoughts.
