Post from Quora about Christianity.
I hate when people disable comments I like to comment what are they afraid of some foul language!!!
And these faggot hackers try and take your writing what the fuck are you afraid of or protecting the world is almost going to die let people speak and act.
Someone mentioned how the bible is all lies and just made up. They don’t really quite understand how amazingly useful and powerful tool before medicine it was for healing. It was a very sought after book for most people wanting help when there were no doctors or nurses. Imagine it before hospitals if you had problems?
Think before you try and degrade and disregard our ancestry.
My contribution.
It’s true history has been written and rewritten a million times by different rulers over the centuries but as the bible was lost for about 800 years it was found again and declared an unnecessary doctrine in 1200 by King Julius of Aramathea. But shortly after it was picked up again by missionaries as they found tribes of cannibals and it was their answer to try and convert them. Before that it wasn’t objectionable material to anyone and people loved getting in congregations sharing the stories singing songs celebrating what their version back then of our modern Christmas was more recently today. It was warm and comforting times in villages and places. I think it was called Kris Kringle they called the celebrations.
But you know after tribes were found races mixed people doing unspeakable acts in the name of Jesus to convert natives to God it got a bad favour. Before then really well loved by everyone. You have to remember the past to understand before nazi Germany and other atrocities life was simple but mostly pretty nice.
When it turned around and bible wasn’t deemed necessary.
From Google search.
Around 1350, medicine was characterized by practices like surgical procedures for broken bones, wound treatment with egg whites, and anesthetics derived from plants like mandrake. The Black Death led to the discovery of quarantine, a major public health measure that would have a lasting impact, though many medical theories, such as the doctrine of signatures and astrology, still influenced treatments. While not a "year" invention, the collective practices and discoveries of the era marked significant advances in surgery and public health.
Medical Practices:
- Surgery:
- Doctors and barber-surgeons gained extensive experience setting broken bones and performing other surgical procedures, often in response to wartime injuries.
- Wound Care:
- To prevent infection, wounds were sometimes sealed with egg whites, a practice that was common in the Middle Ages.
- Anesthesia:
- Substances like mandrake roots, alcohol, and opium were used to induce sleep or dull pain during operations.
- Herbal Medicine:
- Medicinal plants were a cornerstone of medical practice, with monks in monastic gardens cultivating herbs for healing.
- Delivery:
- The Caesarean section, where a cut is made to deliver a baby from the mother's womb, was known to be practiced around this time.
Public Health and Concepts:
- Quarantine:
- The devastation of the Black Death spurred the development and implementation of quarantine measures as a way to control the spread of disease, a practice that would influence public health globally.
- Doctrine of Signatures:
- This ancient philosophical concept, still in use, held that plants resembling parts of the body could be used to treat ailments of that part of the body (e.g., lungwort for lung conditions).
- Astrology in Medicine:
- The understanding of disease sometimes incorporated astrological concepts, with physicians casting horoscopes to link planetary configurations to epidemics.
Significance of the Era:
The period around 1350 was marked by a blend of ancient wisdom and practical innovation, heavily influenced by recurring conflicts and devastating plagues like the Black Death. It laid the groundwork for future medical advancements during the Renaissance by expanding knowledge in both the science and public health aspects of medicine.
