Natural Medicine Education

Reformation: a rational movement of the 21st century with the aim to reform outdated doctrines of 'alternative' medicines of the 20th century. Natural medicine is not alternative nor solely complementary. It is the way medicine is and was. In our clamor to adopt technologies, have we lost sight of nature's own medicines? Can we not heal without designer products, without learning our modalities from vendors and amateurs, and prescribe based on mood and market swings of laity? Find within these pages thought provoking articles.

The School of Hippocrates: A Genuine Reformation in Medicine

The Tree of Hippocrates is the plane tree (or platane, in Europe) under which, according to the legend, Hippocrates of Kos (considered the father of medicine) taught his pupils the art of medicine. Paul of Tarsus taught here as well. The Platanus in Kos is an oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), with a crown diameter of about 12 meters, said to be the largest and oldest for a plane tree in Europe. Seeds or cuttings from the tree have been spread all over the world since. A cutting of the tree was presented as a gift from the island Kos to National Library of Medicine, and planted on December 14, 1961 on the grounds surrounding the library. Many medical colleges, libraries or institutions have, or claim to have, trees cut or seeded from the original tree in Kos. It is because of its connection to the profound history of medicine that occured on this island that some institutions planted a plane tree.

The School of Essenes: A Reformation in Medicine

It was at an early time, according to both the ancient scholar Philo and the modern scholar Falk, that Moses trained 2,000 of the spiritual "elect" -- those Jews who had remained vegetarian and refused to participate in animal sacrifice and idol worship -- to be Essenes. AND FROM THIS TIME ON THE ESSENES EXISTED AS AN ESOTERIC MINORITY SECT. Josephus Flavius, born at Jerusalem in 37 A.D., was the greatest historian of the Jews in that period. Philo was the greatest Jewish philosopher of that period. Both men had personal knowledge of the ancient Essenes. Both declared that the Essenian roots are incredibly ancient. The Therapeutae of Egypt became the 'healers' of this tradition and survived to become the earliest Christians.
