-Caveat Lector-
The lethal nature of medicine in centuries past is well documented, however the
effectiveness of traditional medicines in some areas is/was little better.
Your points about midwifery are quite true, this is an area which women have always
been pre-eminent.
However, none of this alters the fact that, with the exception of a few hapy
co-incidences, the types of cures offered by 'Wise Women' etc., consisted mainly of
prayers, invoking of angels or devils, talismans, potions with no beneficial effect,
strange rituals (animal sacrifice, burying potatoes in the light of the moon, unlikely
aphrodisiacs) etc. I am sure there are numerous practices which have a negative effect
on subjects practiced by WW, but which aren't much touted by their fanclub.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
