The dream of a long life without disease and suffering at all times Excited the imagination of scientists. Finding Panacea – Cures For any diseases – hundreds of scientific treatises are devoted. But to none of thinkers of the past never managed to get closer to the solution composition of universal healing substance. And the word “panacea” forever remained synonymous with futile attempts to achieve impossible. Elixir of the Eternal Toad in the Early Middle Ages all science was represented by alchemists. Alchemy came to Europe with East and was a bizarre mixture of philosophy, theology, mathematics, chemistry and medicine. One of the first Arab scholars, known in the Old World, was Jabir ibn Haiyan (in European transcription – Heber), who lived in the VIII-IX centuries in Iran. Peru ibn Hayyan belongs to the famous treatise Book семидесяти”, в котором изложены основные тезисы алхимии. Photo from open sources There is a curious chapter in this book about metals. It was Geber who formulated the idea of ”curing” the ignoble metals, as a result of which gold can be obtained. Scientist believed that all terrestrial metals are composed of a mixture of mercury and sulfur in different proportions and ripen underground. But if you intervene in the ripening process of gold, there is a chance to accelerate it. For this you need a certain elixir (from the Arabic al-iksir – “dry”), which able to “cure” any metals, give them the desired properties. So the idea of the philosopher’s stone was first introduced to the world – a substance capable of changing the composition of metals. But where does it panacea, you ask? The whole point is that Geber thought that a side property of the elixir is the ability to cure the human body. There is a kind of logic in it: since a substance cures inanimate matter, why not same with live? In this classic, “magical” ways Heber mercilessly ridiculed receiving the elixir of health and immortality. “You just need to find a toad that has lived ten thousand years, then catch millennial bat, dry them, crush and grind into powder, dissolve in water and take every day for a tablespoon, “the scientist mockingly wrote, hinting at backwardness bazaar recipes for health and longevity. Alchemy for the good Christian In the 13th century, a Franciscan monk lived in England Roger Bacon. He was versatile and scary inquisitive person. Which naturally led him to the search for a cure for all diseases. For ailments in those days around was abundant, and doctors still cope with most of them plainly did not learn. Bacon thought a lot about the nature of the disease and, being an exemplary Christian, I came to the conclusion that people are sick from that which is sinful. Therefore, he suggested a panacea to be sought not only in chemical laboratory, but also in the church. Bacon believed that bodies Adam and Eve before the fall were pure and not subject to any ailments. Therefore, a good Christian should try to know the structure. bodies of the first people, and most importantly, strive for righteousness. Like this did, for example, the holy patriarchs before the flood, which allowed them significantly extend your life. In addition, of course, you need take the cherished alchemical elixir: this substance can bring all fluids in the body to a state of perfect harmony. But only subject to the observance of moral Christian laws! Sinners who desired health and longevity by drinking the elixir they will become infected with all known and unknown diseases and will suffer from them not only during life, but also in hell. Despite obviously religious nature of thinking, Bacon managed to fall out of favor with church hierarchs. At first he was expelled from all universities, then accused of witchcraft and eventually arrested. It was rumored that the Franciscan still invented the wonderful elixir, but did not want to share the recipe – for which he paid. But most likely, he there was simply nothing to say … The harmony of vibes of Time Alchemists have passed. They were replaced by a new, enlightened medicine. In the XVIII century, the idea of a magic elixir aroused only ridicule. But the enormous popularity of the findings of the Austrian doctor Franz Anton Mesmer. His treatise on the “animal magnetism “he literally blew up an educated society. Mesmer believed that the human body has its own magnetic energy, the so-called fluid. Photo from open sources And this energy is able to be transmitted from living object to the inanimate, accumulate, distribute, amplify. Fluid dried up under the influence of certain circumstances becomes the cause of the disease. Therefore to heal patient, you need to harmonize his natural magnetism. Make this is possible by transferring fluids from the doctor to the patient. Mesmer became extremely popular. Still: according to his theory, no medications are not needed at all, you can treat with a look and simple laying on of hands. Mesmer’s recommendations nullified centuries-old best practices of classical medicine. And besides, they promised full healing from any ailments, since all of them – from the plague to mental retardation – caused by a violation of only one function organism: the ability to produce animal magnetism. By the way Mesmer was the first to think of charging simple water, giving it healing properties. The ideas of magnetism remained at the cutting edge of fashion for a very long time. AND the scientist’s works were not in vain: some of his developments were found place in modern medicine. It’s about hypnosis, thanks to which Mesmer and achieved good results in medical practice. It’s a pity only, he himself did not quite understand the nature of his success. But he could become famous as the founding father of an entire psychotherapeutic school. Barefoot “Baby” and “Kremlin pill” XX century has changed a lot in medicine. Antibiotics, anesthesia, chemotherapy appeared, there were sophisticated surgical techniques developed, the strongest invented medications. However none of these revolutionary methods does not give a 100% guarantee of cure. Miracle cure did not find, but self-taught appeared in abundance, eliminating terrible diseases in such strange ways that explain it no science is able to. All that remains is to believe in a panacea. Remember at least a barefoot gray-haired old man with a long a beard. The famous Porfiry Ivanov gathered around himself followers and students from all over the country. They drove to him hopeless. And he believed that if diseases are transmitted from person to to a person, therefore, health can be transmitted in the same way. AND passed on. He undressed and unraveled everyone, regardless of the diagnosis, let it out in the cold, doused it with ice water. And in an incomprehensible way people were recovering! Фото изopen source Ivanov, a former chronic inhabitant psychiatric clinics, managed to attract thousands of banners adherents. But he could not explain to the scientific community what the secret of his Baby system and why people are healed. Most physicians considered Ivanov a mentally ill charlatan, not without charisma. But the facts are clear: his system worked like a panacea, saving ruined by terrible ailments of life. Around the same years in our rumors circulated about a miracle cure applies the Kremlin top to maintain health and youth. Like, from here and the abundance of Kremlin elders who do not want to Leave high posts even at a very advanced age. They talked about “Kremlin pills” that cure any disease and prolonging life. But the Soviet system fell, and everything secret became explicit. The mysterious panacea was just experimental development of the Tomsk plant that helps digestion. The micro device is not had nothing to do with immortality … The desire to defeat nature and to live if not forever, then at least for a long time, and most importantly, without suffering and so much suffering that man continues to invent imagine more and more “pills” from all diseases and believe that they will save, help, heal. But over the centuries, science has couldn’t find that one magical remedy. And hardly someday will find. But faith works true miracles and sometimes heals like no modern thing can heal a medicine created according to all the canons of highly developed science. So that perhaps it’s not worth taking it from humanity. Andrew CITNIKOV
