You are saying that the Chinese have been taking powdered rhino horn

Actually, it turns out that my suggested use is a misconception:

Regardless, *many* people have discovered that it doesnt work as a
medicine. Just not the ones who take it, I assume, who may themselves be
ignorant of the placebo effect. If only they were homeopaths, too, the
rhinos would be doing a lot better in the wild.


Regardless of how it is used, for some 2,000 years people have been
buying the stuff. Do you really believe that all those peoples -
millions I would guess over 2,000 years - bought it and it did
nothing?
