Besides the explosion of medical company monopolies, not much has changed with medicine in my lifetime. My boomer parents took pills for everything and they encouraged me to. mention of a headache gets an ibuprofen, rather than a glass of water. Even at a young age I was obsessed with primitive people and I wondered how they survived without our modern medicine, or even toothpaste. It was only once I was much older that I realized that much of the problems we have are due to our modern life and they way we live, and our culture decided the best solution was to pop pills and make $400 rubber insoles rather than actually change the culture to just not create those problems that need industrial solutions.
I’m Sam and this is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast. The weekly cultural anthropology and history podcast that makes sense of our senseless world through indigenous and historical examples, academic methods in social science, and a perspective not limited by the crushing restrictions that come with traditional academia and public schools
Today we are going to talk traditional medicine, the pros and cons and what it can do and can’t do. Then where our modern health system comes from, what the nature of our health culture is, and why people are so fat and miserable in the west.
