The Beginning of the Natural Healing ArtsIn Egypt, according to records dating back to 4500 B.C., fragrances were used individually, as well as in rituals and ceremonies performed in the temples, and pyramids, as well as embalming. Three oils used in the embalming process were cedar wood, myrrh and frankincense. The translation of some papyrus found in the Temple of Edfu tell about which fragrant chemistry from plant substances were blended by the high priest to make natural therapeutic formulas for their sacramental ceremonies.The 1st Physician - The Real Father of MedicineImhotep (who revered as the god of medicine) was as great in Egypt as was in Greece later. There still remain many bronze statuettes, temples and sanatoria bearing his name. He was a priest, king's physician, demigod to god, god of medicine, architect, sage, scribe, astronomer, prime minister, and magician. invented the step pyramid, and it is said he was the "architect" for the first step pyramid built by Pharaoh Djoser at Saqqara. The name Imhotep means "He who cometh in peace." He was born about 3000 B.C. and became one of the most brilliant men in Egypt. It is thought that he wrote the Edwin Smith Papyrus. He died about 2,850 B.C. and was made a demigod. His tomb near Memphis became a sacred place and the site of pilgrimages for those seeking a cure. About 525 B.C., Imhotep emerged as a full deity of medicine and he reigned as such until 550 A.D. when the Roman emperor, Justinian, put an end to the worship of Egyptian deities, destroyed the temples and decreed Christianity as the religion of state. (Syllabus of the History of Medicine - Imhotep: World's first physician known by name; Clifford C. Snyder, M.D.) Imhotep is given credit for ushering in the use of oils, herbs, and mother nature's fragrant pharmacy for the purposes of natural healing. The physicians of Ionia Attia and Crete came to the cities of the Nile to increase their knowledge. At this time, the school of Cas was founded and was attended by Hypocrites (460 to 377 B.C.), whom the Greeks, in their enthusiasm and with some exaggeration, named the "Father of Medicine." History easily reveals that Hippocrates was not the Father of Medicine but only a student who exploited and taught many of the things already being practiced and discovered. He wrote at least 70 books on healing. He strongly emphasized the healing power of nature the importance of rest, fresh air, sunlight, proper diet, exercise in moderation, cleanliness, and tissue manipulation. It is very sad that the Hippocratic Oath is publicly administered to medical students upon graduation from medical schools, however the practice of medicine is far from what Hippo crates taught. "Proper nutrition," he taught, but even to at the turn of nutrition is NOT TAUGHT (only available as an alternative elective) in medical school. The pharmaceutical industry producing patented drugs, which are completely foreign (manmade) chemicals to all living ecosystems on planet earth, all of which have side effects! May the Real ALTERNATIVE Medicine Doctor Please Step Forward!Let it be clearly understood Modern Medicine is the ALTERNATIVE Medicine, everything which is healing is natural and comes from nature. All Modern Medicine is alternative, unnatural, which has deviated from natural healing arts that have existed since the beginning of recorded time and throughout all generations of mankind.Modern Day Discoveries Reveal The Real Truth About HealingIn 1817 the Ebers Papyrus was discovered, which was over 870 feet long and was referred to as therapeutic and curative scroll. It dated back to 1500 B.C. and referenced over 800 different formulations of herbal formulas and remedies. Other scrolls referenced indicated that the Egyptians had great success rate in treating 81 different diseases.In 1922, when King Tut's tomb was opened, 350 liters of oils were discovered in alabaster jars in excellent condition. As people migrated across Europe, they carried with them the knowledge of benefits of specific herbs of their native lands like China, India and some Arab nations all maintained a greater understanding of the use of herbs. The Decay of Modern MedicineNatural Healing is gaining great momentum with the publics increased knowledge of its tremendous benefits because DRUGS DO NOT HEAL, they only change symptoms as revealed by medicine itself.The twentieth century has brought a new enlightenment to this ancient art. During the turn of the century, French chemist and author, Dr. Gattefosse, brought about a renewed interest. He studied and documented essential oils and their healing properties. He discovered that different applications had antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. He experimented with these discoveries on soldiers during World War I. Lavender was used to decrease pain. Lemon, clove and chamomile were used as disinfectants. The applications were carried on to the Second World War, where doctors used oils to prevent gangrene and speed healing. The Real Truth About GERMS and DRUGS!"Drugs like sulfa and penicillin... neither kill nor neutralize their toxins. They merely prevent germs from multiplying, so that the body can fight them on even terms." (Life, November 5, 1945)Medicines "germ theory" and their falsely claimed "Killer Drugs", is a totally dead issue. "Smart Bugs," which are now running rampant throughout the world because of over use of antibiotics. Only natural herbs and specific essential oils work well! Remember: "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas A.
