188 "...Bloodletting..."<br />

"Bloodletting is one of the oldest medical practices, having been practiced among diverse<br />

ancient peoples, including the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Mayans, <strong>and</strong><br />

the Aztecs. In Greece, bloodletting was in use around the time of Hippocrates, who mentions<br />

bloodletting but in general relied on dietary techniques. Erasistratus, however, theorized that<br />

many diseases were caused by plethoras, or overabundances, in the blood, <strong>and</strong> advised<br />

that these plethoras be treated, initially, by exercise, sweating, reduced food intake, <strong>and</strong><br />

vomiting. Herophilus advocated bloodletting. Archagathus, one of the first Greek physicians<br />

to practice in Rome, practiced bloodletting extensively <strong>and</strong> gained a most sanguinary<br />

reputation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> popularity of bloodletting in Greece was reinforced by the ideas of Galen, after he<br />

discovered the veins <strong>and</strong> arteries were filled with blood, not air as was commonly believed at<br />

the time. <strong>The</strong>re were two key concepts in his system of bloodletting. <strong>The</strong> first was that blood<br />

was created <strong>and</strong> then used up, it did not circulate <strong>and</strong> so it could 'stagnate' in the<br />

extremities. <strong>The</strong> second was that humoral balance was the basis of illness or health, the four<br />

humours being blood, phlegm, black bile, <strong>and</strong> yellow bile, relating to the four Greek classical<br />

elements of air, water, earth <strong>and</strong> fire. Galen believed that blood was the dominant humour<br />

<strong>and</strong> the one in most need of control. In order to balance the humours, a physician would<br />

either remove 'excess' blood (plethora) from the patient or give them an emetic to induce<br />

vomiting, or a diuretic to induce urination.<br />

Bloodletting was especially popular in the young United States of America, where Benjamin<br />

Rush (a signatory of the Declaration of Independence) saw the state of the arteries as the<br />

key to disease, recommending levels of blood-letting that were high, even for the time.<br />

George Washington was treated in this manner following a horseback riding accident:<br />

almost 4 pounds (1.7 litres) of blood was withdrawn, contributing to his death by throat<br />

infection in 1799."<br />

189 "... you will find "evolution" mentioned in the ancient Vedic Hymns..."<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Vedas are very exhaustive scriptures. Each Veda contains several sections <strong>and</strong><br />

thous<strong>and</strong>s of hymns. Some of the Vedic hymns, especially the hymns of the Rig Veda, are<br />

considered to be at least 6000-8000 years old.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Vedas are believed to be revealed scriptures, because they are considered to be<br />

divine in origin. Since they were not written by any human beings but were only heard<br />

in deep meditative states, they are commonly referred as srutis or those that were heard."<br />
