The History of Medicine

As someone who ONLY uses natural substances and modalities for my wellness and health I found the following chart very amusing:

The History of Medicine

2000BC Here, eat this root.

1000BC That root is heathen. Here say this prayer.

1805AD That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.

1940AD That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.

1960AD That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.

2000AD That antibiotic doesn't work anymore. Here, eat this root.

And to roots, I add my precious essential oils, organic groceries, my prized BEMER and hey-presto, every day I'm good as new :-)...

(For more information and education about the BEMER, please go to http://www.bemeramerica.com/kiki and expect to receive excellent health-related information.)

P.S. My request to those who 'borrow' from this blog is to please give adequate credit to the source of the borrowed information - whether me, or books and people I quote from. Thank you.
