Medical Electric Batteries

These units were introduced in the 1800's as both home and professional medical devices and continued to be available until the 1930's when they suddenly disappeared from the market. These devices were the ancestors of todays modern parasite zappers and were well respected for their effectiveness for reducing certain illnesses. It is believed that they were forced off of the market by the AMA during the 1930's because medical professionals found that drugs were more profitable. Doctors who used electricity for any health problem were threatened with being called a quack and loosing their medical liscense. There are many similar electrical devices available around the world. They are still oppressed in the USA.
