The field of medicine has always
attracted its share of quacks and charlatans — disrepu-table women and men with
little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The
reasons why quackery thrives even in modem times are easy to find.
To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose
body or mind "hurts" will often pay any amount of money for the promise of
relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that
beset men and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their
physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears. Many
people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Given the choice
between (a) a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long,
expensive and may not work at all, and (b) a salesperson who says that several
bottles of a secret formula "snake oil" will cure not only cancer but
tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for "snake oil".
Many "snake oil" remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic
drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their
pains in the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that "snake
oil" is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But let there be no
misunderstandings. A very few "home remedies" actually work. However, most
remedies sold by quacks are not only useless, but often can be harmful as well.
