Depends on the situation. For instance, there are many professions where quacks (ie Homeopaths, Faith Healers, and the like) tell a person that they have the cure to what ails them and tells them to go off of their real medicine. Which often is because they can't afford it or they are worried about the side effects, but the long term effect is often that they lead shortened lives or die. The power of these placebo medicines is that people believe that they work; therefor, sometimes they do. It's the placebo affect. Not to say that Homeopaths don't believe that they are curing people, they have just fooled themselves into thinking that a placebo is a real medicine. In the case of Faith Healing, often the person gets such an adrenaline boost from hearing your cured that they for a short time have their symptoms go away. Problem is they come back. I have seen cases where the Faith Healers ask the patients to throw their medications up on the stage and say you don't need it anymore.
In these cases, heck yea its wrong. It gives them hope, but makes them think that they don't need their medicines.
