The article references a lot of stuff, none of it meaning what the author thinks it means.

The best part is when Hahnemann (the inventor of homeopathy) is referenced.

Let's do a checklist:
-Magnetic fields? Check.
-Quantum mechanics? Check.
-Long discredited pseudoscience? Check.
-Germ theory denialism? Check.

Yeah, I'd say it's bullshit. It isn't even worth refuting since the claims aren't even internally functional.
