Here's a pretty amusing op-ed on Russian alternative medicine provider:

The treatment may seem like alchemy to most, but Elvira Beisebayeva swears by the salves and cure-alls she whipped up on a recent afternoon in the living room of her tiny apartment on the outskirts of Russia's capital.

The compress she made from a cabbage leaf, fermented milk and chalk makes breast cysts vanish, she asserts. A pungent, gray-green goo made from an herb called bur marigold, rubbing alcohol, lanolin and Vaseline subdued the severe psoriasis that had caused her 12-year-old daughter's scalp to bleed.

Um. I guess whatever works works. But no thank you, "Elvira." Keep your rancid unguents away from my psoriasis.
