Overview
Medical Mysteries: Did Ancient Doctors Know More? The amazing human body is so complex we are only now beginning to understand how it works. Yet the ancients seemed to know how it worked, how to fix it if something went wrong and they did it faster and easier. What is it that ancient medical practitioners knew that we are still trying to figure out? Are there solutions to medical problems that are being kept from the public? Is there a life force so powerful it can teach the body to heal? Do all miracles of modern medicine belong to the last 50 years, or did the ancients discover methods that give a whole new meaning to medical miracles? Are there proven methods and medicines that were used thousands of years ago that we can rely on today?
