Hippocrates, as you may know, is often described as the founder of modern medicine. You may not know that Hippocrates had it in for puppies.
In the book Hippocrates, you may wish to follow along HERE for a good translation. He describes various animal meats and how they affect the body.
He states:
The flesh of puppies moistens and passes by stool, still more by urine.
Translation: Eating puppies will help you poop and pee better. A great laxative. I guess if you get desperate you'll try anything.
Later in his book be explains that puppy meat should be boiled. Who knew?!
Hedgehogs are also good as a laxative, but he does not mention how to prepare them. I am assuming boiling would be best.
Hippocrates: Eat a boiled puppy, you'll feel better!
Why don't they teach us the good and interesting stuff in school? We have to learn about such things on the streets...
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this. I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't have any more info about puppies as a laxative. Eating puppy meat makes the bowels happy. I guess it is as simple as that!
