Could This 'Forbidden Medicine' Eliminate the Need for Drugs?

This article has some great history of the battle between allopathic medicine and homeopathic medicine.  Very interesting story about Hahnemann - founder of homeopathy - and how the AMA was established back in 1847 and forbid its members to associate with homeopaths or use their medicines.

Of interest to me - when searching about the origins of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - that it started the next year after the AMA was formed:

The Food and Drug Administration is the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the U. S. federal government. Its origins can be traced back to the appointment of Lewis Caleb Beck in the Patent Office around 1848 to carry out chemical analyses of agricultural products, a function that the newly created Department of Agriculture inherited in 1862.
