Amazing.... do you know anything about what Reese's Peanut Butter Cups help? Please tell me they help with something..... Yeah, and Snickers bars? They surely are good for something...I'm going to go eat one to help me figure it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 In the 17th Century herbalists such as Nicholas Culpeper, or William Coles believed in something called 'the doctrine of signatures', whereby any plant or part of a plant...root, stem, flower etc that looked like part of the human anatomy, or even animal anatomy, was in some mystical way linked to it. For example, Viper's Bugloss has a speckled stem which resembles (with a degree of imagination) a snakes skin...and thus proof that is would be effective in a compound against snake-bite. We seem to have come a long way since those times. i am a firm believer in herbology... medicine as we know it has only existed for about 150 years, and before that, it was ALL herbology! and i'm not so sure that western medicine is so fabulous anyway... i mean, i'd hate to not have it, but i remember one time i asked my mom what all her meds were for.... most of them were to treat the side effects of other meds. it's crazy! anyway, i bet if you studied the chemistry of snake anti-venoms, you'd find that viper's bugloss or a synthetic version of it is part of the formula. (just like aspirin is a synthetic version of white willow bark). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image here and raw? ok, veggies and fruits, sure, but i don't think anyone would eat raw fish or meat! Well, most veggies are best eaten raw. But I've heard tomatoes are actually best cooked; cooking releases more of its beneficial aspects. People do eat raw fish - it's called sushi. But if you notice, this presentation focuses on fruits and veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be LadyC....though I think their doctrine was extremely speculative and random and nowadays would be considered not only unscientific, but possibly lethal in many cases. What has always interested me is how they found out what was poisonous and what wasn't and what quantities to use...I bet they did not get volunteers queuing up...not even for a silver coin and a tankard of mead.
