SUPERSTITIONS AND FALSE REMEDIES FOR ARTHRITIS

posted by admin in Arthritis

If we are to find a modern cure for arthritis, we must first know all the past methods which have failed. We must eliminate all of the wrong theories, learn to disregard just plain superstitions.

Any scientist—when he sets out to discover the correct medicine or treatment—will first go back into history to consult centuries of past knowledge. He will want to know what other scientists did wrong, and why these mistakes were made.

You, too, should be interested in knowing the false remedies, the quack ideas and the failures of old-time medicine men. Unless you know the difference between a “legend” and a correct cure, how can you hope to choose the right road to recovery?

So this chapter will trace the course of medical progress back through hundreds of years. By reading about these superstitions and strange treatments, you will be able to see how arthritic research has grown. You will be able to recognise the wisdom—or the false hope—offered to modern patients.

Many of the methods used today to fight arthritis began ages ago. Some brilliant men and women, the best brains of their day, were interested in arthritis. Read on, and learn what they contributed toward helping you.
