Ancestors Health

sure enough they must have let the disease take its natural course & let it get cured with time. even if we don't take treatment, our body has its own immune system which deals with any infection & tries to contain the infection. there were many orthodox beliefs in the premedication era about various diseases like God's wrath, Efects of one's sins, & so on & people used to go to "black magicians", priests, etc. to saught cure for their condition. quit a few conditions would even respond, as most of clinical conditions are psychic, which is even practised today by docs as well which is known as placebo effect or the so called faith healing. as far as scabies is concerned, if tretment is not taken, then it is bound to spread to other members of the family or to other contacts of the patient. so immediate treatment as per doctor's advice is recommended.

one of my ancestors lived to 107 he lived in 3 centuries Alexander something I figure no worries for me then

I have often wondered this as well. I know that there have been use of medicinal plants for thousands of years. They may or may not have been as effective as modern medicines. I'm sure with something like scabies, there would be a quarantine and a medicinal herb used to kill the bugs. There were also herbs and plants that were used that were very similar to those used in medicines today. The main problem with early medicine is that there was an extreme lack of knowledge. A lot of time people thought you get sick from having bad blood and need to be "leeched". Or, they thought it was a curse or some other spiritual problem. And, when they did operations, they never sterilized or even cleaned the instruments properly.

Aha, I have done a personal research about his several years ago. One of the reason is my father got diabetes, for doctors there is no cure for diabetes. So, I read many things about our ancestors medicine. Firstly, I found that our ancestors eat raw food. I mean food that has no harsh chemicals or additives. So, their bodies are clean, strong/healthy, and last longer. Secondly, our ancestors's view about how to maintain a healthy body or how to treat disease is different compared to doctor's view. Our ancestor (or maybe my ancestor) believed that to treat disease firstly we have to clean our body, then nourish it, and then we can enjoy great healt. I share their view, which I learn from many herbs man, in www.moneyfromhealth.blogspot.com . And about the psychic, maybe psychology is the right word. Some people are not sick but they think they are sick and need medicine. So, what doctor does is he gives placebo or sugar that look like a medicine, the people take it and feel good. We call it placebo effect, not a medicine but has good effect for people who think that the are sick!
