Re: The Lost History of Medicine

Let's not forget about Ignaz Semmelwies who was killed for presenting what Pasteur got credit for.

Semmelweis postulated the theory of washing with "chlorinated lime solutions" in 1847^[1] while working in Vienna General Hospital's First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had three times the mortality of midwives' wards. He published a book of his findings in childbed fever in Etiology, Concept and Prophylaxis of Childbed Fever.

Despite various publications of results where hand-washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory. In 1865, a nervous breakdown (or possibly Alzheimer's) landed him in an asylum, where Semmelweis died of injuries, at age 47.

Ignaz was beaten up at the asylum and died of the very septic pathogen he warned everyone about.

If it cures, they remove it from circulation. This is why we have to bring it all back and retain it!
