OLDEN DAY TREATMENT

Greek physicians were not fortunate enough to have the knowledge on human anatomy.  
They were not even aware of blood circulation. Hippocrates had a very basic definition of human body and he believed it to be comprised of four fluids 1) Blood 2) Phlegm  
3) Black bile 4) yellow bile. Black bile was the key in cancer identification. He believed that cancer was caused only because of the accumulation of excess black bile. This was the widespread thoughts people had for the next 1700 years. Spiritual people had the idea that cancer was caused only by Gods. It was a real challenge for the physicians to find out a cure for this deadly disease. In 1628 the practice of autopsy came into existence. The first autopsy was done by Harvey which paved the way for learning more about human anatomy and physiology. With the help of autopsies physicians were able to get a clear understanding about various functions taking place inside the human body. It was the same period during which the concept of blood circulation was invented. Till 1760 these autopsies were performed only to find the cause of death. Giovanni was the first person who performed the autopsy and generated several reports on cancer.
