I'll withhold judgement on the first two mentioned. In your case (and I assure you I don't mean this as an insult, but as a simple statement of fact) I think you're a victim of the scam, and one of the quasi-religious variety who, once they/ve become emotionally invested in the belief, simply can't admit they're wrong. The classic example, I think, are the "MMR vaccine causes autism" crowd.

Then there is the other question. "Could there be any trace of truth to their claims"?

Why don't we try to find out.
You honestly think people haven't tried? The problem is that they've gotten no significant positive result, or even negative results, so the true believers ignore them.
