Guess I shouldn't be surprised, insofar as an inability to distinguish good medicine from bad is remarkably similar to the inability to distinguish good science from bad.

5% sugar, 5% opium extract, 60% alcohol, 30% water. Cures what ails ya, you betcha. What - it's "herbal", innit?

Still waiting for my shilling check from Big Pharma....
