To me, Khatz is like a harmless Japanese-learning version of Kevin Trudeau.
Kevin Trudeau is a con artist. He's written a bunch of books about health, wellness, weight loss--that kinda stuff. But he has no training in anything really, and he's had a lot of run ins with the law. Whenever anyone points out he's a convicted felon, he points out that the medical/agricultural/whatever industries have a huge amount of money and power to get rid of inconvenient people. And he says he's the victim of that.
Kevin Trudeau's books are just just a bunch of random bullshit about things that he says will 'improve' your health--anything from yoga, to saunas, meditation, scientology, and organic food. He just pushes everything, with the message that you can get healthy, and you can lose weight! You just have to keep at it!
Oh, and don't listen to the medical field and scientists because they're all in it for the money. They can't be trusted.
Anyway, Khatz' writing style and way of giving advice remind me of the way that Trudeau writes. Very disorganized, with very little proof, and a mocking of the usual way of doing things.
Trudeau is very harmful because he's getting people to waste a ton of money, and he's endangering people by encouraging them to distrust medical science. He's also a con-artist through and through--he's only in this for the money.
Khatz legitimately believes he's helping, and for the people who listen it is mostly harmless. After all, if you study Japanese you'll eventually get good at it, and he's encouraging people to study. But he's just spouting random stuff--there's no reason to take any of it seriously.
