7 Most GRUESOME Medieval Diseases & Their Cures (or Lack of)…
Life in the Middle Ages, between the fifth and the fifteenth centuries, was hard. Long before the discovery of penicillin, the people accepted that death was going to be with them sooner rather than later. Infections spread quickly and there were no inoculations, no cures and no defences against the misery it could inflict on the people of medieval England. Disease became man’s greatest enemy because it was almost impossible to avoid. Let’s take a look at some of the worst diseases to catch during the middle ages….

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Had the benighted Roman Church learned from their Hellenic ancestors, they would have kept the aqueducts in repair for fresh water and taken a bath every day. Instead, they denounced these things as "Pagan" and were happy with filth, disease, and misery–which went with their pessimistic Christian worldview.

What absolutely terrible appalling conditions all these people lived in, back in medieval times. How much misery could have been avoided, by simply cleaning the whole place up. By bathing and frequently washing their hands. By keeping their food clean, and hygienic at all times, and no matter what.
