So attributing views to her that she did not claim does not count either...

It does not sound like she made a claim regarding the efficacy of natural remedies rather questioning the default labeling of non profitable treatments as pseudoscientific junk.

She literally replied "absolutely". The whole documentary is made in bad faith. She's supposed to be a scientist, what kind of an answer is that? The only benefit of the doubt I can give her is that she's being quoted out of context.

It’s a poor form of argumentation to find a technically “absolute” statement someone makes and entirely invalidate the argument because nothing in this world is absolutely true.

I'd argue about this but I think it's better if you watch the video I linked 2 comments up.
