Read Louis L'Amour's The Walking Drum sometime. The main character has many trades and physician is one of them.
You have to wonder what technology we lost from ancient man. They must have discovered some amazing things that have just been lost to the centuries. So many cultures and nations, and so many people experimenting. We can’t even guess the extent of technology and home remedies, and knowledge that ancient man had that is so far lost or took centuries to re-discover.
Just amazing.
The Antikythera mechanism comes to mind.

You fail to understand that the point is not to cure people, but for drug companies to be able to invent new products to make money with. As to older remedies, I have successfully used garlic, honey, soft soap, coloidal silver; and arbor vitae. My all time favorite is Zepherin Chloride, also call Benzalkonium chloride. Forty-five years ago when my newborn had thrush, the doctor had me swab his mouth daily with an antibiotic solution. He hated it so much I asked if there was something else. He recommended the Zepherin Chloride 750:1 dilution. That is 750 parts water to 1 part ZC. He said dilute some with an equal amount of water, thus making it 1500:1, and swab his mouth with it 3 times a day. The thrush cleared up very quickly and it was a lot less unpleasant for him. I kept the 16 oz. bottle for years and used on all sorts of minor cuts, sore throats, etc. It was a bit hard to find this dilution on the internet, but here is one. Their charge for 16 oz. is half what I paid 45 years ago. No wonder drug companies don’t want us to know about this and doctors don’t learn to tell us. My bottle included a very detailed sheet telling many uses, including such things as using it to wash out an infected bladder at a greater dilution. Be very careful that you have the right dilution. It comes much stronger for uses like washing down the skin before surgery.

I note that a campaign against it seems to have started about 30 years ago. What, drug companies not making enough money on the antibiotics they had to invent every few years? PS: The green mold that grows on old citrus fruit is penicillin and I have used it effectively on infected cuts.
