http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/09/13/1238217/-Rush-Limbaugh-Reduced-to-Peddling-Actual-Snake-OilLimbaugh's household name sponsors immediately began to stream for the exits as online activist groups pressured them to distance themselves from his bigoted rhetoric. Capitol One, Sears, JC Penney, TurboTax, Netflix and many others demanded their ads be removed from the controversial program. The current number of advertisers who have indicated to StopRush volunteers they will not allow their ads on The Rush Limbaugh Show stands at 2,866.

The advertisers include shady identity protection software, loads of pecker pills, Social Security scams that target the elderly, and even a church led by a murdering pastor.
Now you can add snake oil to the list. And I don't mean that metaphorically....
Nyloxin's website contains a host of references to scientific studies verifying the effectiveness of treating pain with cobra venom. It's quite a necessary bit of spin considering the technique originated in a part of the world where some
consume deer penis for "stamina" and others allow snails to crawl around on their faces to reverse the effects of aging.
