include the so-called wonder drug Krebiozen, Glyoxylide, Mucorhicin
and others.

<cite>
Krebiozen was initially promoted by Stevan Durovic, a Yugoslavian
physician who claimed that the substance came from horse serum
inoculated with Actinomyces bovis.[1] Durovic claimed that Krebiozen
had been useful in the treatment of cancer, mainly in cats and dogs.
His claims were backed by Andrew Conway Ivy, a prominent
physiologist, and by several politicians including Senator Paul
Douglas (D-IL).[1] Ivy became convinced that Krebiozen possessed
anti-cancer properties,[4] administered the substance to himself and
colleagues, then to a dog, and eventually started testing Krebiozen
on patients.[2]
Ivy called a press conference in 1951 at which he announced to an
audience of journalists, politicians, doctors and potential investors
that Krebiozen was a success. At the press conference, Ivy claimed
that of 22 treated patients, 14 were alive and none had died of
cancer. However, in reality 10 of the treated patients had died�all
of cancer�at the time of the press conference.[2] Shortly afterward,
the Krebiozen Research Foundation was established by the Durovic
brothers, with Ivy as president.
Intrigued by Ivy's announcement, 10 hospitals and cancer research
centers followed up on the trial and attempted to reproduce Ivy's
claimed results. However, all of these independent researchers
observed no effect of Krebiozen on cancer. A compilation of these
institutions' negative data was reported in the Journal of the
American Medical Association in 1951.[5] Krebiozen's backers
responded by alleging a conspiracy against the drug.[2] In 1959, Ivy
began producing his own version of the drug under the name
"Carcalon".[6]
On October 28, 1964, the Durovics, Ivy and the Krebiozen Research
Foundation were indicted for introducing mislabeled drugs into
interstate commerce in violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
After a 9-month trial, the case ended with a hung jury and they were
acquitted.[2][7] Soon afterwards, Durovic was indicted for tax
evasion and fled the United States.[6]

conned.

That looks like two strikes for Fitzgerald...

And strike three!
Fitzgerald is a total strike out!
