Illness, disease and plagues were a gloomy part of everyday life in the Middle Ages. Living conditions for both the rich and poor were very unsanitary and life expectancy was very low. Leprosy and syphilis were two common diseases that plagued daily life. How did they handle treating disease, centuries before penicillin was invented? A single woman’s body found in Dixon’s Lane in York is going to help Malin Holst find some answers. Medieval approaches to disease may actually have been a little more advanced than we might think.

We have an ex leprosarium here in the center of Amsterdam. Opposite Rembrandt's house. Only the original stone gated entrance remains, with sculpted figurines of people suffering with the disease. You had to knock to be let in, but before the door would open, a bell would toll to let people in the vacinity know there were infected people nearby. What a time to be (just about) alive.

I cared for a patient with Hansen's Disease back in the 1980s as a Home Care nurse. She looked like a normal healthy individual. You would not know she had this disease if you were not told. She was an elderly lady and was successfully treated and cured with multiple medications. We should not continue to hold this disease in contempt any longer.

Actually the statistics are skewed by a very large child mortality. If you survived childhood you had a pretty good chance to reach middle age, and if you were lucky you could reach your 70's or even older. Of course, you had to be lucky and avoid getting any infectious diseases or be killed in violent conflict. But still, there were a lot more older people around in the middle ages than people think.

Tuberculosis was terrible, too. In addition to affecting the lungs, it could infect almost any part of the body, with horrible, painful and fatal results. Respiratory tuberculosis is on the rise in crowded populations, is antibiotic-resistant now and difficult to treat. We can no longer be too smug about our ability to fight bacterial diseases, and are in our infancy about anti-viral treatment, mainly we rely on vaccines, if they can be developed in time.

We take so many modern things for granted nowadays. Getting a simple cavity filled very often prevents eventual infection/loss of that tooth. Back then that very well could kill you if you don't pull that tooth out before an infection sets in. Back then an abscess wasn't a death sentence but it was very dangerous. Roll the dice, you may or may not get lucky and survive. Even things as simple as nose spray. No, a stuffy nose usually won't kill you but that one time the nose spray keeps your nasal passages open enough to drain and prevent a sinus infection would prevent death back then. We think of things like nose spray or allergy medication as simple comfort, kinda things. They suppress minor symptoms. If we get a sinus infection, a simple course of antibiotics fixes us right up so we don't think of minor symptom suppression as terribly important. Now, we use nose spray to breathe a little easier and don't even think of what it might prevent.

They proly had to take the syphillis part out because their old documentary on the syphillis enigma theory has long been debunked. Fyi the syphillis enigma documentary/theory is outdated and long debunked by scientists. The lessions of those skeletons pre columbian were revealed to not be syphillis related and the monks were proven falsely dated due to their high shellfish sea diet and died AFTER columbus , and the smoking barrel is modern Phylogenetic studies that keep indicating that syphilis emerged in the Americas since Treponema spp. evolutionary rates are compatible with pre-Columbian times and no evidence for European strains prior to the syphilis pandemic there have been detected. There is just more evidence showing that it came from pre Columbia America when it boils down, and most scientists in the field have come to this conclusion. Yet this documentary still starts by saying "the true story of syphillis" lol.. I mean they literally just mapped the syphillis genome a few years ago showing that it's just impossible

So disappointed in what could have been a brilliant series, spoiled by too loud and overly dramatic "music" and too soft narration. Fire your sound engineer. Do these production companies not sit and listen to final product before release. A potentially brilliant series ruined.

It's amazing how these fellows add unnecessary background music towards such informative videos on KZfaq. Every similar video has some very disturbing background music in my own Indian language as well, very annoying, bastards !!!!

Can't hear the narration because the music is so loud. And why is the music there anyway? This topic is compelling enough to stand on its own.

So, did all of the varieties of syphilis work via spirochetes? Like Lyme disease.

I find it interesting that (40:30 ish) I've come across these same people in the current epidemic that shall not be named. Some people are completely terrified of disease, but it seems most people accept it as part of life and something one'd like to avoid, but most choose to carry on with life.

This is a surprise - I was taught that syphilis was brought back by the Spanish from the New World. So, not medieval but maybe late medieval - after 1492.

@@miketaylor5212 I have never head such a story. Wild really. As an american, I was blown away to hear Europeans were taught in school that people native to this continent, who were conquered, raped, and set upon buy a people with diseases their immune systems had no chance of fighting against, we're not possibly wiped out by their conquerors with syphilis and smallpox, rather the other way around. You guys believe a native culture that never left the continent, made ill the men who raped them. Yeah that sounds smart
