“Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.”
Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.
To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the Healer’s oath, but to nobody else.
I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.
Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me. – Translation by W.H.S. Jones.
Hippocrates:
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” .
Although many patients are convinced of the importance of food in both causing and relieving their problems, many doctors’ knowledge of nutrition is rudimentary. Most feel much more comfortable with drugs than foods, and the “food as medicine” philosophy of Hippocrates has been largely neglected. That may be about to change. Concern about obesity is rocketing up political agendas, and a growing interest in the science of functional foods is opening up many therapeutic possibilities
Foods that have been a medicine since antiquity
The various types of food were considered by Hippocrates as medicines. Indicatively, he mentions that barley has other properties unpeeled and others peeled, some as toasted or barley flour and others as barley bread: “If you want to boil unpeeled barley, the decoction is a strong laxative. When roasted, its liquid and laxative properties are inhibited by fire.
Sifted flour has less nutritional value, but is more laxative. Sifted flour is more nutritious, but less laxative. Wheat is stronger and more nutritious than barley, but less laxative, both this and its porridge. “Dandelion bread with sifted flour is more nutritious, but less laxative.”
Melikriton (water honey) is less suitable for those who have a bitter (yellow) bile and for those who show swelling of the viscera. It softens the lungs, facilitates expectoration and reduces cough. It has diuretic properties and even important.
Oxemeli (vinegar honey) is one of the main drinks that Hippocrates Medicine allows and recommends to be given to people with acute diseases. Under certain conditions, it also allows the administration of wine, diluted with water. It is expectorant and facilitates breathing. There are, however, cases where instead of raising the sputum to expel it, it makes it slimy and complicates the situation.
Ancient and modern medicine coincide with observations on the relationship between food and health.
Hippocrates and Galen describe in detail their action on health, while modern doctors also associate the consumption of specific foods with the prevention of serious diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Modern Medicine highlights the role of nutrition in prevention:
Red meat contributes to cardiovascular and cancer, while it also increases cholesterol, which leads to kidney damage. Snacks, sweets, sugar and fats deregulate sugar, leading to cardiovascular, kidney disease and atherosclerosis. If the consumption of fats and salt is added to them, we lead to the metabolic syndrome.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals and whole grain breads protect against the above, as well as from an increase in homocysteine, which is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease.
Alcohol is the second most common carcinogen after tobacco.
The beans – he notes – Hippocrates are nutritious, but they cause constipation.
Peas are more laxative, as are chickpeas and beans.
White chickpeas are laxative, diuretic and nutritious.
Garlic is warming, laxative and diuretic. It benefits the body, harms the eyes and its action weakens with boiling. Onion is good for the eyes, but it harms the body, which heats and dries.
Leek is warming, laxative and diuretic. It moisturizes, stops the sourness and is good to eat towards the end of the meal. Radish dissolves phlegm with its causticity, it is heating, but also indigestible. Lettuce is refreshing, but it causes weakness in the body.
Celery is a diuretic. The fresh antrakla (portulaca) cools and warms as a pickle.
Nettle has a laxative effect. The bullet facilitates defecation. Oregano warms and helps the bile function. Thyme is warming, laxative and diuretic.
Galinos reports that rice stops diarrhea and lentils facilitate bowel movements. If they are boiled a second time, the currents of the abdomen dry up. Sesame fills up quickly, digestion is slow and the food it gives the body is fatty. Melon is diuretic and laxative and cleanses the skin. Cucumbers are diuretic, while figs have a remarkable cleansing property.
