I looked at the first four pages of google references and just found
snake oil. What page will link to the scientific research?

Sure she's wrong, snake oil was a valuable commodity, and even the
"snake oil salesmen" of ill repute who sold fake snake oil weren't
breaking any laws in selling unapproved medications, and weren't posting
commercial advertisements on Usenet support groups in contravention of
their ISP's conditions of use.

They were really quite tame by comparison.
