I think it might be a little more complicated than that, given that quite a lot of these people genuinely believe that their "treatments" actually have efficacy.
If they did then they wouldn't charge like they do.
If I thought that I had the power to cure cancer I'd take a run down every oncology ward in my city and then every other city in my country, security be damned. (And I wouldn't be afraid of sticking around in the same city for a long period of time (After the feel-good effect has worn off and they are as bad as they always were, perhaps worse after having thrown away their medication/refused real medical treatment)). I wouldn't start a business (You wouldn't need to, just one millionaire with cancer would do it). They know it's a scam. They are the scam artists.
