15 - "A long time ago I read a British book from the 30's about the history of islam. From the descriptions of muhamads death docters said that he most likely died in the advanced stages of a brain deteriating std. Does anyone have any information on that?"

Considering that the brain's function was not discovered until about the 15-1600's, and prior to that all intellect emminated from the heart, I doubt the correctness of that observation.

Perhaps you mis-understand or I did not make myself clear. The doctors were from the 1930's or 20s. The symtoms were taken from so-called holy writeing about the life of muhammed.
