Raymond Siedel
In reading accounts of the epidemic it seems many deaths were caused by a virulent pneumonia that was especially devastating to those who depressed their system with analgesics, the most common being Aspirin. Raymond Siedel told me he decided to become a homeopathic doctor when he was a 10 year old delivery boy for a local homeopath. He said “I saw that people who were taking Aspirin were dying, about half those who were drinking a lot of whiskey were dying, and those that received homeopathic remedies were living.”
