RE: Only 6% of Drug Advertising Material is Supported by Scientific Evidence - British Medical Journal

Fun fact. The American Medical Association was formed with the main goal of destroying the reputation of homeopathy. At that time 1/3 of doctors in the US were homeopaths.

Just think of where we would be if that ratio still held today...

I've heard that before in my other research. Do you have a link to support the claim? I do know that there were a little over 150 medical schools in the USA in the late 1800's and early 1900's and a number of them were homeopathic schools. The AMA also went after chiropractors and labelling them quacks. The AMA was formed to protect the interests of corporations, period.
