The gruesome history of eating corpses as medicine (2012)

Here we go with the blown up academic nonsense. It just has to stops with these people. Just because a few people may or may not have done it, does not mean it was some sort of widespread practice.<p>We have got to start calling these people out who have turned the academy into a National Inquirer because they are desperate for attention and funding. It’s toxic and harmful to humanity how they twist things up and distort reality, a la 1984, to the point where there is no telling what the truth is and no one really even can cares anymore because it’s been so convoluted and perverted by self-important, attention starved people.

Tangentially related:<p>The word mummy originally referred to a medicine, now called mummia, made from Egyptian mummies.<p>Ground up Egyptian mummies have been used in pigments too (mummy brown). Many paintings from the Pre-Raphaelites used this pigment. The artist Edward Burne-Jones was reported to have ceremonially buried his tube of mummy brown in his garden when he discovered its true origins.<p>There was even an entire counterfeit scene for Egyptian mummies where fresh corpses were embalmed and sold off for use in medicine and pigments!

If God meant for people not to eat people, we wouldn&#x27;t be made of meat!

In tantric buddhism, there is a tradition that the flesh of a &quot;seven-times returner&quot; (a person who has been reborn seven times in succession as a human) is of great value in addressing meditation problems. Their flesh was made into pills; I knew someone who owned a few of these pills.<p>The phrase &quot;The time has come for you to give up your life for the sake of all beings&quot; comes to mind. You didn&#x27;t want to get a reputation as a seven-times returner.

The British Royal family is known to have done it for a long time in the past: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;article-1389142&#x2F;British-royalty-dined-human-flesh-dont-worry-300-years-ago.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;article-1389142&#x2F;British-roy...</a><p>It is very likely that they still do it but because people have lot more power and influence now so they started hiding their more controversial activities. It is very likely that they have included other elites from elsewhere in the practice... which is why I believe the adrenochrome story, which we are supposed to think is a &quot;conspiracy theory&quot;, but I think it is much more likely to be happening than it is portrayed by naysayers.

Macbeth...<p>&quot;... Double double toil and trouble<p>Fire burn and cauldron bubble<p>Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf<p>Witches&#x27; mummy, maw and gulf ... &quot;<p>In case you wondered what witches&#x27; mummy was, now you know.

Human young blood perfusions have potent rejuvenating properties. Is there scientific evidence that eating human flesh&#x2F;organs would provide additional benefits over raw blood?<p>Spoiler: there are probably many benefits, see e.g the cognitive benefits that give cerebrolysin, not hard to extrapolate from this and there must exists some human only Peptides. I recall that women&#x27;s milk has a special unique substance that is neurotrophic, criminally it is not synthetically adjuvenated in cow&#x27;s milk.<p>Of course I&#x27;m not advocating you to eat me but making artificial babies without brains might be not science fiction. It highly relate with the urgent need of being able to replace animal breeding with philosophical zombies.
