My great-great grandfather was a doctor (however qualified back then) and "snake-oil" salesman.
I wish I had his remedies today. Most of them were simples. Sure, there may have been harm or addiction in his laudanum formulas - but then - what did people do for pain back then?

I wrote about J.D. Rockefeller who took over the AMA and this is the organization today. It cares nothing about the people...it is totally dictatorial and won't permit doctors to use anything, except its own patented nostrums.
There were doctors who used to truly care about their patients, too. They were not the ones who joined the AMA for the money or the prestige. They had a calling to serve. J.D.s father was a low class scoundrel who abandoned his family and married another woman. He was someone who was considered a 'snake oil' salesman.
