Miasma theory was the idea that poisonous, putrid, bad-smelling air spread epidemic diseases. While it was popularized by the Hippocratic School around 400 BCE, it continued to influence medicine until well into the 19th century (and arguably, still does today). In this video, Patrick Kelly will tell the story of miasma theory's origins and how it evolved over time into something called zymotic theory.

I’d love to hear more about medicine in the Americas, traveling nurses, Frontier medicine, the medical knowledge of Indigenous peopleI, and so on. I don’t remember what video it was that I learned you are a teacher, but since I never told my teachers this I will tell you-It was the great teachers I had that instilled in me my love of learning, especially my High School Biology teacher, that turned me to science and Nursing. Just know that because of a teacher, I went on to help heal the sick, bring babies into the world, and hold off death at least for a time. Thank you so much! You make a difference. ❤

Love the journalistic-esque content lately! Super small comment-- at times I feel like cuts are done a hair too soon which causes words to bleed into each other. E.g. at 11:18 the "groceries" and "but" jarred me for half a second as they bled into each other. The pausing between chapters is done well, to help me digest what you said, but more "breaths" between cuts themselves feels like it'd be good too. Extra quarter second maybe?

The concept actually shows up earlier than the 5th century in the Chinese literature. In the early Han Dynasty text, the Huángdì Nèijīng, which is itself a compendium of still earlier texts, there is a single occurrence of the term 瘴 zhàng. This term appears in a passage describing pestilential disease and is understood to refer to putrid air generally arising from damp areas. This places the term more around the turn of the common era, if not older. Interestingly, though the term makes an appearance, as a concept it doesn't appear to have played a significant role in the development of Chinese medical theory and is conspicuously absent from the 傷寒論, or "Treatise on Cold Damage", a treatise on epidemic disease and the most famous herbal medicine text in the history of the field.

During The Blight a couple of years back, my mother basically came up with this idea by herself and was convinced that "tainted air" was spreading the disease. If someone borrowed her car, or if someone rode with her, she insisted on keeping the doors open and exiting the vehicle for at least 15 minutes afterwards. Even better if it was during the winter since she insisted the cold, freezing air would "purify the tainted air" and ensure that the disease would go away. She seemed to think that if the air got stale at all, or if there were any weird smells, the disease might just... appear, I suppose. I tried to explain that it wasn't airborne, and that at most she should be worried about surface contact or direct contact with other people, but she seemed to have resolved that this was her way of keeping safe. Since it was ultimately harmless I just shrugged. But it was intresting to notice how there seems to be something quite intuitive (as in matching human intuitions, coming to people's minds quite easily) about the idea of disease happening due to air issues.

I knew a lady in her 80s in 2012 who believed in Spontaneous Generation on a large scale. As in she believed if she ate a packet of biscuits and did not properly put in it the bin, instead leaving the wrapper on the bench, or worse yet, the floor that rats would spontaneously generate themselves under it. Same thing with smaller things like potato peals and flies. I tried to explain to her that life was not a video game where the developers spawned enemies out of sight but she simply would not accept it. Wild.

It seems like they were saying that people got sick more often when they were breathing mouldy or chemically or smoke and other air pollution contaminated air and then large numbers of people would start feeling ill, and that still makes sense today with our modern understanding of disease and illness, because bad air can make lots of people feel very sick even though air pollution itself isn’t a contagious disease and it does spread with the wind, so I guess as long as we understand it’s not the only cause of illness the ancient theory of miasma causing illnesses is still relevant today. The most recent thing that comes to mind as a good example of miasma theory in the present day is whenever there’s a chemical leak in a specific town in western Ontario that has a reserve and residential area right up next to the industrial chemicals manufacturing area, so practically everyone gets sick there because of it every time it happens and it happens way too often in my opinion. 7:49

Just a gentle observation that miasma absolutely showed up in dictionaries as early as the 6th c AD, where Hesychius glosses the word as akatharsia-uncleanliness, among other definitions. The verb from which it was derived is miaínō, to stain/defile and shows up in Homer. Miasma (and miaínō) in the classical era frequently expressed a moral concept showing up in the tragedians in the sense of moral pollution attached to crimes, such as those committed in Aeschylus’ Oresteia, Euripides’ Hippolytus, and Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. It does, however, show up in the hippocratic corpus in, I think, On Breaths on the medical sense. I feel as though the moral sense of the word is important to understand its origin and the implications it had for the ancient and medieval world order and concept of disease, especially since moral stigmas have been attached to certain illnesses until fairly recently (maybe even to the present day).

What's wild is that he wasn't far off! Bodies preserved in bogs, like the ones in Ireland, decompose way, way slower than in other conditions.The National Museum of Ireland has a page about them, but be warned, the images might make you queasy www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Irish-Antiquities-Division-Collections/Collections-List-(1)/Iron-Age/Bog-Bodies-Research-Project

How about a look at Royal Raymond Rife's microscope? Reportedly his microscope observes live organisms without a staining process which introduced exogenous chemicals. This microscope changed the way Rife viewed medicine. Interesting subject to explore.
