The fact that the toxin is indiscriminate, to me, means that it will damage all sorts of cell walls. It will damage healthy ones in too high of a concentration. So it damages cancer, and damages HIV, and damages healthy cells. It damages whatever it touches in too high of a concentration, like a lot of things. I still don't see how that's scammy.
So....basically, you're saying "it's a good poison"?
I won't disagree. I just have a tough time with someone claiming that a poison could cure both cancer and AIDS. Unless by "curing" they mean "killing a person along with that person's HIV infection and cancer cells."

Anthropogenic pollonation is not viable because of the cost.
It would necessitate a rise in food costs which would in turn necessitate an increase in wages and the spiral would get out of control.
Well, the economically inelastic qualities of food make that untrue. I repeat: when bees can't do it, we will. Necessity's a mutha.

4 of those 5 occurred before the evolution of flowering plants and insect pollenators
huh? It's very likely that at least one occurred because there were too many plants on this planet.
Yep. An overgrowth of carbon-fixating greenery probably halted all life on the globe at least twice in the world's history.
I quote Stosh Yablonski: let's do it to them, before they do it to us.
