Hippocrates.is
called 'the Father of Medicine', circa.B.C.E.
460.
He was a Greek physician
who laid the foundations for helping restore to health those unwell. He
advocated advice which became known as the Hippocratic Oath. Like Darwin,
Hippocrates was a sincere man doing good, whose works, like
Darwin's were hijacked for evil purposes.
Healing of scientific medicine by
freeing medical study from the constraints
of philosophical speculation and superstition, he challenged the notion
that disease was punishment sent from the Gods (a cabal
lie), discovered the connection between human disease
and poor environmental conditions; his ability to make accurate
clinical observations led him to the concept of preventative medicine;
he is traditionally but inaccurately considered the author of the Hippocratic
Oath, an oath of ethical professional behavior used to be sworn by all
new physicians. Among the more significant works of the Hippocratic Collection
is Airs, Waters and Places,
B.C.E.
5th century, which, instead of ascribing diseases to divine origin, discusses
their environmental causes. The idea of preventive medicine, first conceived
in Regimen and Regimen in Acute Diseases, stresses not only diet
but also the patient's general way of living, which would include spirituality
and how it influences his or her health and convalescence
Hippocratic.adjective
Hippocratic oath
In its original form, the so-called Hippocratic
Oath prohibited participation in surgery or abortions; many of today's
Rockefeller
financed/controlled medical schools impose a revised and modernized
version of the oath as an admonition and an affirmation to which their
graduating classes assent.
One version, approved by the American
Medical Association, is as follows: You do solemnly swear, each by whatever
he or she holds most sacred that you will be loyal to the Profession of
Medicine.(loyal to the association
controlling the profession; what about the patient coming first, loyal
to doing the best for his or her health? it's the old story of 'sewing
it all up for the self first', still the same today).and
just and generous to its members; that you will lead your lives
and practice your art in uprightness and honor.(like
what happened to bring them to what we see all too often today with the
lies, deceit, misinformation, 'protect the association above all' 'cover
your ass', 'me first' actions evident today? the dark side has many
tricks to influence minds); that into whatsoever house you shall
enter.(they used to come to
you; it was unthinkable that a sick person would have to
traipse
through society from the comfort of his or her bed to get to see a doctor
after a wait around other sick people in a doctor's office), it
shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power.(today
it's to the utmost of drug knowledge possessed), your holding
yourselves far aloof from wrong, from corruption.(and
so we see a reason for the medical associations ... to protect themselves
from their errors), from the tempting of others to vice, that you
will exercise your art solely for the cure
of your patients.(few
today are cured, only symptons relieved and so the sickness returns and/or
gets worse).and will give
no drug, perform no operation, for a criminal purpose.(is
it not 'criminal that the medical system kills more people annually than
die in vehicle accidents?), even if solicited, far less suggest
it that whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men or women which
is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret.(secrets
are betrayed daily in reports sent to authoritative bodies); these
things do you swear; let each bow the head in sign of acquiescence;
and now, if you will be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and good
repute be ever yours; the opposite, if you shall prove yourselves forsworn.....comprised
