    • 1989 August 19, Bob Lederer, “Hiding Behind HIV”, in Gay Community News, volume 17, number 6, page 8:
      The American Medical Association (AMA) was formed in 1845 to gain for medical doctors a monopoly on legal licensure as health practitioners. The young AMA waged fierce (and quite successful) battles to de-certify the then-dominant natural healers — a range of herbalists, midwives, and homeopathic doctors.
