Slide 43

Slide #43: None of the purported "Kidney Remedies" did anything positive for kidney disease, for destructive changes to the kidneys demand more than mere paliative therapy. Nor did they do anything for lower back pain, a condition frequently promoted in advertising of these products. Sanborn's Kidney Remedy was typical of the breed, a group of products that did much harm in delaying proper medical treatment.
