Hippocrates

No, Hippocrates did!

Hippocrates was a person, no one 'used' him

Orville Redenbacher had one brother, Karl Conrad Redenbacher, who was seven-years older than Orville. Orville Redenbacher was born in Brazil, Indiana in 1907. He began growing popcorn as a 4-H project, when he was a young boy.

Hippocrates Asclepiades, "descendant of (the doctor-god) Asclepios," but it is uncertain whether this descent was by family or merely by his becoming attached to the medical profession. Legend likewise places him in the family line of the hero Hercules. Son of Heracleides and Praxithea,

A famous Greek physician and medical writer, born in Cos, about 460 B. C.

Many practices in ancient Greek medical treatment are ascribed to Hippocrates, but very little is known about whether he instituted them himself of whether other or later physicians of his "school" instituted them. Most of our knowledge about him comes from the Greek physician Soranus who lived about 200 years after his death, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Reasonably certain is that his major contribution was the insight that illnesses were not sent by the gods, but that they had natural causes. Furthermore he probably did start the practice of systematically analyzing and describing the symptoms of illnesses, which enabled later physicians to easily recognize illnesses and their recommended treatments. He was the author of a treatise called 'The complicated body', but because of the strict taboo at the time concerning dissection of humans, it would take another 1,500 years before the anatomy of humans was fully and clearly understood.

He was mentored by his father.

The Hippocratic Corpus may have been written by Hippocrates or his students.

Poeple say she had one, athena, but he didnt he had two sons Thessalus and Draco

He thought Hippocrates was the model doctor, and that what he wrote could be trusted. However, Galen was selective in which of the many treatises attributed to Hippocrates he took as 'genuine'. Those that best fitted Galen's own view of the body were - no surprises here! - the ones he decided were really by Hippocrates!

Hippocrates Called "the Father of Medicine."460?-377? b.c. Greek physician who laid the foundations of scientific medicine by freeing medical study from the constraints of philosophical speculation and superstition. He is traditionally but inaccurately considered the author of the Hippocratic oath.

Hippocrates din't have any brothers or sisters

He put the planets in correct order, He was interested in astronomy and he was a mathematician.

Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. The Hippocratic school believed that all illnesses were the result of an imbalance in the body of the four humours, fluids that when in health were naturally equal in amount. The four humours are, blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm. Hippocrates recommended that a physician was to always be tidy, honest, calm, understanding and serious.

For the most part, he was a the father of medicine and so he wasn't really influenced by any other person. His theory of the humorism (the idea that there are four main liquids of the body) was influenced by the Pythagorean theory which stated that Nature was made of four elements-water, earth, wind and fire. The four humors correspond to this like so...

Blood-Air

Black Bile-Earth

Yellow Bile-Fire

Phlegm-Water

So if you need a specific person, you could explain that he was influenced by Pythagoras.

he was a Doctor and father of medicine

Hippocrates was educated about medicine by his father and grandfather, but he eventually was apprenticed by Asklepieion of Kos. :)

they had elements from Persia until Philip the 2 came.

Chronologically wise around 450-350 BC in the Hellenic island of KOS.

Actually the ancient Greek text in much more explicit & Lakonic-language stupilates this:

"Your nutrition is your pharmaco/medicine"

Though it isn't very certain as to what he discovered, it is said that Hippocrates was the first person to believe that diseases were caused naturally and NOT by the gods or superstition. It has also been said that he was the first physician to discover the symptoms for both pneumonia and childhood epilepsy. Hope that helps. :] it should

=The Hippocratic Oath as follows:=I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!
