The Germ Theory of Medicine is less than 100 years old, and before this shift in thinking on disease, past humans developed some very interesting ideas around medicine. Interestingly, some of them were actually right.

Keep in mind that the term "practice" has multiple definitions. One is, as you seem to be using it, the process of improving your skill at a specific task. The other is to actually utilize whatever skill you have in a professional setting. And yes, as someone else said, the latter definition also includes doing the former, but a professional practicing their art doesn't mean they're just toying around.

I’ve actually been prescribed blood letting. It’s called a phlebotomy nowadays and it’s done using a needle rather than an open wound but it’s basically the same practice. I needed it because my liver had a buildup of iron which is hard to get rid of. The most effective way to get rid of iron is to force your body to produce a lot of blood, specifically red blood cells because hemoglobin uses iron. I went in every two weeks for a couple months. They’d pull a pint of blood out and then give me a bag of saline through IV and it worked. My iron levels are now normal.

As a trained Phlebotomy tech/past CMA I have to say, no. Your procedure wasnt called "a phlebotomy". That's like saying your long division is called "a math". Phlebotomists are technicians who specialize in drawing blood often from difficult paitents or for lab tests. So the field of drawing blood via a needle is called Phlebotomy. So again, it's a field not a procedure.

The history of penicillin is actually worth a major movie. After finding the fungus, the lab searched for strains with a better yield. So they asked around to gather random mould samples. It was still WW2, and finally the USAF was asked to gather samples from all over the world. Ironically, the most effective strain was found on an orange. In a trash can right outside the institute.

The funny thing about the sympathetic treatment was it DID kinda-sorta work. Not because putting magic powder on swords treats battle wounds, but because part of the treatment was keeping the wound clean, bandaged and dry so no foreign influences could mess up the magic powder. They got something right, but only by accident.

I have definitely been a part of medical maggots and leeches and fecal transplants as an RN at my state’s largest hospital. They worked great and it was really interesting to see their positive effects. My own daughter had a brain bleed at age 6 from a ruptured vessel malformation and had a hand-sized portion of her skull removed to protect her swollen brain and it was later replaced. So amazing! Before they put it back I could see her brain pulsating with each heart beat through her skin. It’s such an awe inspiring thing to see technology that’s so ancient being used in modern medicine and see it still saving lives!

Honey was used as a very effective antibiotic, during the middle ages, and is still used today to treat conditions like leg ulcers. My own mother was treated with manuka honey dressing for her leg ulcer and it worked. It's far too easy to forget the benefits of traditional herbal medicine and wisdom, in a day and age where antibiotics are so readily available, and it's to our detriment, that we rely on them so blindly.

As a nurse, i have been a witness to leech therapy, bedside craniotomies, and cared for fecal transplant patients. I wonder if in ancient times as a treatment for trouble breathing, they would create a hole in the chest. If so, then that practice is used today to treat pneumothorax (insertion of a chest tube) Also, bloodletting is still used today for treatments in hemochromatosis and polycythemia 😊 doubt G. Wash suffered from any of those though.

If a person doesn't die because some of their lugs are still inflated, and they are given time, they can heal on their own. The air inside the plural cavity will be absorbed by the body and the hole in the lung will have healed by that time. Usually a collapsed lung will heal given that the other lobes or side is functioning.

It is proven to be effective in restoring or regenerating the tiniest capillaries, useful for people with radio-necrosis and yes trying to reattach parts of their body. I recall one of the technicians saying that nobody really understands why HBO Therapy helps with that, only that it works. (It’s understood about how it helps divers with ‘the bends’)

@@SummitSummit Vat grown meat won't work, most of the micro nutrients found in meat is created by a complex digestion process of ruminants, that is why they have multiple stomachs, and why they are called ruminants because they vomit up their food runinate(chew) then redigest it. This is what also seperate us from apes, apes have very long large intestines to ferment plant matter, and is why they eat their own forces to redigest food. Humans have very short large intestines which is why most plant matter leaves our body looking the same as it went in, and we don't eat our own shit. We evolved a smaller gut, longer legs, and upright mobility and sweating because we began to eat meat during the ice age and persistence hunt our food, ergo a large cumbersome gut was not needed to process meat, and we need to out run our prey until they are too exhausted to fight back. This is how primatice African tribes hunt to this day. Primative tribes still eat plants but only when meat is scarce because eating only plants is a good way to get dead without modern supplements.

But seems to me, they do not have the luxury to not have a lot of children. It's their pension fund. They seem to do it by choice because they and society in general are to poor or corrupt to do so or provide enough healthcare or other services for the poor or to prevent the early death of children. Now the good news is: around the world a sharp decline in the last decade or 2 has happened of both child mortality and maternal mortality has happened, while we might not reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 many got spared these tragedies. The bad news is, this does not include the one of the largest wealthy countries: the US, it is now going in the other direction.
