Mattei distributed his medicines in the dispensories of many countries, to name but a few: Russia, Caucasus, Swiss, Italy, England, France, Germany, America, etc. "Electrohomoeopathy (or Mattei cancer cure) is a derivative of homeopathy invented in the 19th century by Count Cesare Mattei. The name is derived from a combination of electro (referring to an electric bio-energy content supposedly extracted from plants and of therapeutic value, rather than electricity in its conventional sense) and homeopathy (referring to an alternative medicinal philosophy developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century) ... Lucrative for its inventor and popular in the late nineteenth century, electrohomoeopathy has been described as "utter idiocy" ... it is regarded by the medical and scientific communities as pseudoscience and its practice as quackery" (Wikipedia).
