By observing the contents of his stomach, he determined that there was only one type of microbe which caused all diseases. He became obsessed with finding a way to kill the microbes. To this end, he developed a product that he called the Microbe Killer, which he believed had cured him and would cure anyone who used it.
The growing public interest in microbes as the cause of disease allowed his claims about causes and cures to appear consistent with scientific advances. Radam offered the best of both worlds to consumers appearing as both one of them and also as a sort of expert due to his usage of scientific language and scientific methods.
In the end, Radams extraordinary success in marketing this product not only made him richit also made his product anearly targetofefforts to monitor food and drugs. In April 1910 twelve cases of Radams Microbe Killer were seized, on the grounds of false, exaggerated, and misleading labels, and the contents were destroyed."
