Wasn’t the controversial dispute between R’ Yonasan Eibshitz and R’ Yakov Emden about K’meas? Even R’ Yakov Emden wasn’t stating that they didn’t work, just that Kabballa could be abused. (See e.g. Shabsai Tzvi, Madonna’s Rabbi etc.) If so, the article, bashing segulos in general has little basis, as segulos are not nearly as easily abused (oh no… People are wearing red strings… What a chillul hashem….gasp).
