claims of cancer curing and curing illness without medicine

[edit]
I wish to add two important points to the opening section.
First, that she is claiming she cured her own cancer, and that the method is sold as a way of healing illness. This is controversial. I am sourcing with blogs and discussions where people with cancer or people discussing science are arguing about her method. In most of these cases they link to her ads, or to the network of salespeople selling her book with various illness curing claims. This shows and proves that her claims, and the claims understood and expected by those using her method are controversial.
Secondly, I wish to point to the important point that Bays is a multi-millionair, which itself is important in the context of the controversy around her method and therefor the fact should not be suppressed.
Following these changes I wish to add Category:Alternative medicine for her claims of curing illness without medicine, and Category:Pseudosience for her attribution of her claims to science.
Here are the changes I propose: (in bold italics, and marked added references)
Brandon Bays (born August 21, 1953) is an American motivational author and speaker and a multimillionaire (ref added:)Brandon Bays estimated wealth in 2018 between 1 million to 100 million. In 2019 it was more accurately estimated to be up to 5 million. (Trend Celebs Now, Statistics)(end of ref), who controversially claims to have cured her own cancer without medicine. (ref added:)Discussions on the controversiality of her cancer-curing claims appear in many prominent medical discussions such as Cancer Research UK, Health 24 Skeptical Writer (who shows her advertising and claims it to be misleading) and My Malignant Melanoma blog in which the book "Suckers" by Rose Shapiro is quoted, tying the death of Caron Keating from a minor cancer following her refusal to receive medical treatment, with Bays' journey.(end of ref)
If you have a better way of showing the controversy with good sources, please propose it. Happy to hear your thoughts.
