Like that dangerous guy that was getting out of hand and leading people to believe that they could run a four minute mile even though doctors and scientists knew it was humanly impossible and could kill them.

As is often pointed out, the title of this site is Personal Development for Smart People. I believe smart people are capable of making up their own minds. If you are really worried about saving people, focus on your results and example so that it might lead them to explore your methods.
