ROOTS OF MEDICINE-Dr.Kalonga,AE.

    
Current medical practices by the living African societies and traditions still show similarities to Pharaonic medicine. The continued use by African natural Doctors of medicinal herbs and animal products, and practices such as cosmetic dental filing, brain trepanning, orthopeadic procedures, known to ancient Egyptians suggest sustained scientific and religious interaction in the past.
Alas, current studies are revealing that the knowledge of medicine was transfered from central west Africa to Egypt, just like everything else that was gifted from Kush to Kemet.
This is very significant since it is widely known that the foundations of modern western medicine came from Egypt. Around 50 percent of the plants used in ancient Egypt remained in clinical use. Medical tools like forceps, scissors and surgical blades, were lifted unchanged from ancient Egyptian medical science into modern westen medicine. Medical practices, and knowledge of human anatomy, also found their way into the body of scintific knowledge underlying western medicine.
Since the knowledge of Egyptian medical science was from inner Africa, more precisely central and western Africa, the world owes this continent and its children a belated tribute, a sound recognition for having bequeathed the science of healing and hygiene to later cultures and civilizations who still owe the unrequitted debt of appreciation for Africa’s beneficience.

DR.IMHOTEP " THE REAL FATHER OF MEDICINE" .



 


The Egyptian Imhotep (2667 - 2648 B.C.E) is the first physician in history known by name.Imhotep("the one who comes in peace, is with peace") born 27th century B.C.E, Memphis, Egypt) he was often recognized as the world's first doctor, a priest, scribe, sage, poet, astrologer,vizier, architect, astrologer, and chief minister to Djoser (reigned 2630–2611 B.C.E), the second king of Egypt’s third dynasty, who was later worshipped as the god of medicine in Egypt and in Greece, where he was identified with the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius. He is considered to have been the architect of the step pyramid built at the necropolis of Ṣaqqārah in the city of Memphis. The oldest extant monument of hewn stone known to the world, the pyramid consists of six steps and attains a height of 200 feet (61 metres).




 


 

         Imhotep was worshipped as a god and healer from approximately 2850 B.C. to 525 B.C., and as a full deity from 525 B.C. to 550 A.D. Even kings and queens bowed at his throne. Imhotep lived during the Third Dynasty at the court of King Zoser. Imhotep was a known scribe, chief lector, priest, architect, astronomer and magician (medicine and magic were used together.) 
            Everyone in the field of medicine knows about the hippocratic oath.  The Hippocratic Oath is an oath traditionally taken by physicians pertaining to the ethical practice of medicine. It is widely believed that it was written by a man named Hippocrates, the “father of medicine”, or by one of his students. It is believed he lived around 460 B.C.- 370 B.C.  However, after taking another look at history some are of the opinion that the title bestowed upon this man is very misleading.  Records show that a man by the name of Imhotep was treating ill patients with modern techniques many generations before Hippocrates appearance in history.
      


       Imhotep's best known writings were medical text. As a physician, Imhotep is believed to have been the author of the Papyrus in which more than 90 anatomical terms and 48 injuries are described. They held a "holistic view" of life--- that all that is --physical, mental, and spiritual---everything is connected.  To the ancient Africans (Nubians) --- we are all part of the larger universe,  made of the same elements. 



        He may have also founded a school of medicine in Memphis, a part of his cult center possibly known as "Asklepion, which remained famous for two thousand years. All of this occurred some 2,200 years before the Western Father of Medicine Hippocrates was born.

"He who conceals his disease cannot expect to be cured."


                       ~ Ancient African Proverb.

According to one of the scientists, Dr Jackie Campbell:
“Classical scholars have always considered the ancient Greeks, particularly Hippocrates, as being the fathers of medicine but our findings suggest that the ancient Egyptians were practising a credible form of pharmacy and medicine much earlier,”.
“When we compared the ancient remedies against modern pharmaceutical protocols and standards, we found the prescriptions in the ancient documents not only compared with pharmaceutical preparations of today but that many of the remedies had therapeutic merit.”
“Many of the ancient remedies we discovered survived into the 20th century and, indeed, some remain in use today, albeit that the active component is now produced synthetically.”

Scientists examining documents dating back more than 3,500 years have confirmed that the origins of modern medicine lie in ancient Egypt and not with Hippocrates and the Greeks. The medical papyri was written in 2,500BC 1,000, thousands of years before Hippocrates was born. - See more at: http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/medical-science-africas-gift-to-the-world/#sthash.K8PTQnXv.dpuf
