Science then-sick people must be bled.
The Bible states-Blood is the source of life and health,Leviticus 17:11 look it up!
Science now- blood is the source of life and health.
It’s amazing that bleeding was a common health trend among Christian societies for centuries after Christ then. Also, this is a hugely reductive statement. Oxygen and water are also important components for life. The ancients knew that blood was important. The Greeks thought blood was important for carrying life force and vitality and observed that blood loss led to death. It’s why blood was seen as a part of the ‘four humours’ theory of the time. The non-Christian Roman, Galen, believed blood supplied nutrition across the body. Neither Galen, the Greeks or the Bible fully understood the purpose of blood in supplying nutrients and oxygen across the body.
