Don't get me wrong, medicine made amazing discoveries in recent years, but it's past, was suckish.
This one Greek thinker (Hippocrene?) thought that the body was made of four humors, or liquids: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If you had to little or too much of any humor, supposedly you get sick. So they bled you, or made you barf, or made goat/cow blood transfusions. That means you would have GOAT blood running through your veins. Eww....
Enter the quakers. this is a form of medicine that made you feel better, but didn't make you better. So basically:
TRY WATER! IT MAKE YOU HEALTHY, IN TWO MINUTES!
warning: sickness will return within 30 minutes
Why did people do this?
1) regular medicine treatments gave you pain
2)People wanted reassurance that they'll be ok
3)Doctors made a crap load of money
A lot of changes were going on, and people wanted 100% assurance about SOMETHING, and this was they ideal thing. It shows how gullible people are during changes, and how they'll do anything for a happy ending.
And beware: internet, Google,Apple and loads of other electronic companies are booming, and big changes are happening. And I never said Quakers ended practicing medicine
