Some that I find extremely quackery. Check out these from the website: Oxydonor Victory, Violet Ray Set, Elektroller Faradisation Instrument, Vintage German Massager, "Macaura's Pulsocon" - Vibrating Massage. Some are patented, invented by doctor and come with 100 over pages of instructions!

The "Harmony Chip" has to be the weirdest one I've seen. It was advertised on a website years ago and one of the testimonials claimed that the mere presence of the "Harmony Chip" caused her broken down car to start back up.
There's nothing as "quack" as what they call here as "albularyo" which uses leaves of all sorts. These leaves are sometimes boiled, nor dried then they'll make their patient take those. They will also put an egg on a glass after being rubbed on the body part which is in pain.
They will analyze this one if it has a certain shape. This is how they will predict how you got the illness you have. They will then make you drink this one.RAW.
And last weird quack medicine I'd like to share is the one where an "albularyo" uses a basin with water, then a lighted candle. The patient must be in front of that basin after being massaged with a certain oil then they'll let the lighted candle's wax flow on the basin of water. This will then take shape into something (sometimes only them sees, lol) where they'll be predicting again, who or what causes the illness.
Sometimes, an "albularyo" would even suggest that a ghost or a fairy cursed you or something like that. XD.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
