Are we on the verge of a revival of "Renaissance Medicine"?

"Recent discoveries reported in the LA Times regarding the effectiveness of a Medieval herbal potion against the MRSA 252 virus comes as no surprise to the teachers at Portland's Lost Secret's of Renaissance Medicine Conference. (Judith Hill)[1] initiated this small, scholarly event to initiate an exploration of ancient medical methods and paradigms. As western medicine progressed through the ages, we discarded, en totale, the bulk of indigenous European medicine, while simultaneously ignoring the wisdom of Native America, China, India, Polynesia and Africa.

This small but timely discovery of a recipe from Bald's 10th Century "leech book" encourages us to look for more lost gems. What else did they know? What else have we lost? Maybe it's high time to caste a backwards glance. Join us at this year's conference, when we will do just that!

Just enjoyed a very impressive youtube video reagrding this:

The recipe for this ancient antibiotic.
"Bald's eye salve

- Equal amounts of garlic and another allium (onion or leek), finely chopped and crushed in a mortar for two minutes.

- Add 25ml (0.87 fl oz) of English wine - in this case, taken from a historic vineyard near Glastonbury.

- Dissolve bovine salts in distilled water, add and then keep chilled for nine days at 4 degrees Celsius before straining through a cloth to remove particulates."

I immediately think of "Thieves Vinegar" (which I have made a number of times over the years) and prefer to have a stock of it on hand. Garlic is typically one of the several ingredients in making Thieves. I have also known that onion has been reputed to have powerful anti-nasties properties.
