Many of you may have heard of the Snake Oil Salesmen who walked across America selling snake oil a century or so ago. The term Snake Oil Salesmen was used in a derogatory way to describe frauds or quacks, but the idea of using snake oil or wine and blood has been used by many cultures past and present.  It is perhaps best known as coming from Asian Medicine, where to this day it is used to cure an assortment of ailments like joint pain. The Vietnamese, for example, are very fond of their Snake Blood and use it on a regular bases to boost strength.
