They literally believe that those things are part of a conspiracy to make and/or keep us sick for profit.
The arguments in favor of this take real examples of shady shit companies have done in the past and mix them with a healthy dose of the appeal to nature fallacy. It can sometimes be dressed up in scientific terms to make it seem more legitimate; e.g. Your body evolved to do this, so it's better to do it naturally. Or it can be a matter of faith.
Of course, they downplay the mountain of evidence regarding infant and maternal mortality that we've accumulated over the last couple of centuries.
It's a scam, and one that unfortunately will get a lot of innocent and well meaning mother's and their children killed.
