Yes those quotes do not reflect well on the article. You still missed the part where leeches are used to help with tissue transplants.

Regarding your jab at the end: In my view it's fraud to sell healing crystals if you don‘t think they are. Otherwise it's just mistaken.

And that's 90% of the article

Quote from my post: "There's a very tiny section in "why leech works" that only describes hirudin as anticoagulant."

That's it, that is the only thing that works in leaches. And in the same section about tissue transplants they literally talk about risk of infection, for example.

And yet the entire aticle is literally "we have no evidence if they work for all the other use cases, but who cares, the west is missing out in this good remedy".

It's fraud to sell non-working medicine even if you think it's working.
