Peer review also said blood letting was a great idea too.

"Bloodletting in the preantibiotic era may have been an effective mechanism for starving bacterial pathogens of iron and slowing bacterial growth," writes Rouault.
These days, we have different ways to handle infections.
Though bloodletting is out of vogue -- and none of the researchers is suggesting its revival -- the reasons why it sometimes worked may be clearer.
They say that targeting or inhibiting the bacteria's ability to obtain iron is a promising area of research that may create novel options for therapy against infection.

Is a mini ice age on the way? Scientists warn the Sun has 'gone to sleep' and say it could cause temperatures to plunge
The Sun's activity is at its lowest for 100 years, scientists have warned.
They say the conditions are eerily similar to those before the Maunder Minimum, a time in 1645 when a mini ice age hit, Freezing London's River Thames.
Researcher believe the solar lull could cause major changes, and say there is a 20% chance it could lead to 'major changes' in temperatures.
Global Warming Will 'Double' Extreme El Niño Events
Quoted Text
The world's most devastating global weather phenomenon – the weather events associated with "El Niño" – will double in frequency to once a decade if global warming remains unchecked, according to what scientists believe is a major step forward in the understanding of such events.
The last extreme El Niño, in 1997-98, resulted in the hottest year on record, and the accompanying floods, cyclones, droughts and wildfires killed an estimated 23,000. But until now scientists have been unable to agree how climate change will affect the frequency of extreme El Niños.
A study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, concludes that in stark contrast to earlier work, the current rate of carbon emissions would mean twice as many extreme El Niños over the next 100 years, with profound socioeconomic consequences.
"This is a highly unexpected consequence of global warming," said Professor Mat Collins of the University of Exeter, part of the research team. "Previously we had thought that El Niño would be unaffected by climate change. Tropical rainfall conditions such as those experienced in extreme El Niños have a dramatic influence on the world, the impact therefore on mankind is substantial."
Another team member, Professor Eric Guilyardi of the University of Reading, said: "This research is the first comprehensive examination of the issue to produce robust and convincing results about extreme El Niños."
A massive reddish-brown cloud advances on the city of Melbourne, Australia, on 8 February 1983 - a consequence of devastating droughts induced by the extreme El Niño of 1982-83.

Facts are the realm of Science, not the Church. The Church is the realm of 'magic'.
the catholic thing is not the Church, it is a huge governmental oranization, so lets not confuse the two , the catholic thing was NOT started By Jesus Christ nor were any off the offspring of the catholic thing, the so called re formers, nope, the church does not live in buildings nor does it have rulers who Lord it over others , it does not have men or wombmen who wear funny hats or clothing, special robes like down at the elks lodge on gopher nite. the Church is every where in all places, So to be more precise , Let us say that you do not agree with an others view. Rather than casting ambiguous diversions and half hearted attempts and charcter a** in ation. Just day what you say and dont me mad if others disagree, Eace

Global warming is to blame for this turning into what we have today.
This was 10,000 years ago.
an other interseting "fact I learned at the saratoga battle field expedition we wnet on, the guy there said the lake was not formed by glaciers only filled in, thee hole was formed much earler when the northern section of what is now called the pallisade collapsed.
not that that even matters but just an interesting ad hoc addendum to the thread

We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
I'm about done with this winter....bring on the global warming
