Subject: The Stupid Things Doctors Believed Were Healthy!

From Canada's Health Magazine "Vista", Sept/Oct 2004:
www.vistamagonline.com

To aid their snowy white complexion, doctors prescribed cookies laced with arsenic to women at the turn of the last century. The Safe Arsenic Complexion Wafers were sold by druggists everywhere!

A 1937 advertisement in Life and Newsweek magazines feautres the headline "For Digestion Sake, Smoke Camels," instructing the smoker to have a
cigarette between each course at dinner, to help them digest food. Scientists explained that smoking Camel cigarettes increases the flow of digestive fluid, fostering a sense of well being and encouraging good
digestion, and smoking was recommended for nervous patients.

During the 1930's and 40s, women who were worried about a husband becoming unfaithful were advised by ad's. to douche regularly with Lysol Brand Disinfectant. For over 50 years Lysol has had acceptance of the medical profession and 4 out of 5 doctors prefer it.

And did you hear the one yet that women used to have a vibrator's appointment at the doctors during the 1800's to cure hysteria? Yup!

And in the 15th century, anyone who practiced medicine had to have some degree in astrology first.

More form the magazine:

At one time the eggplant was discounted as poinsonous and dubbed the "mala insane" (raging apple) because it was believed to dause insanity.

Legendary Turkish sultan, Mustaph Mehre, who is aid to have survived 123 years, believed that the eggplant was responsible for his longevity. It is reported that he had 170 wives and countless concubines. Though
he bid almost all of them "goodbye" once they reached the age of 20, he did retain one wife who had a flair for cooking his precious eggplants.

Want to save and protect your loved ones from the coming changes in the global forcefields, and hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc? Dome houses resist all these forces!! I have the Nexus Magazine
upstairs, and the gov't is fully aware of this, but many of the solutions sit on council shelfs, while they argue and argue and debate to receive their
checks for the taxpayer. (I'am sure if you go to www.nexusmagazine.com, you could find it).
