"Immediately after the building of Babel, Egypt became the second center of civilization of the world.  All the famous hero-gods who founded Babel are buried in Egypt.  The development of these two societies was similar and contemporary.   It is easy to see how both Babylonians and Egyptians later claimed to be the first people in the world.
The first four rulers of Egypt's Dynasty I (Menes, Athothis, Kenkenes, and Uenephes) are the ones important to the medical history of the world.  These individuals were also the first four rulers of Babylon!  
The Egyptian god Osiris (Athothis - Second King) was the Apollo of the Greeks, the Baal of the Phoenicians, the Agni of the Indians, the Shun of the Chinese, the Nabu of the Assyrians, the Tammuz of the Semites and the MARDUK of the Babylonians.  All these national god-names refer to the NIMROD of the Bible!
In Babylon, where the universal pattern was set, medicine was a sacred art taught in the temple.  "The divine husbandman," the Babylonian Osiris was Marduk.  In Babylon, the center of the world's pagan civilizations, MARDUK "held the power to overcome all disease" (Marti-Ibanez, The Epic of Medicine, p. 47).  History traces the ancient, original god of Medicine in every nation on earth to Marduk!  Marduk is Nimrod.  The Biblical Nimrod is the patron deity - indeed the FATHER OF MEDICINE - to all nations of the world!"

1John 2:15-17
15)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16)  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17)  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.

Any attempts by modern doctors, scientists, historians, evolutionists, etc, to deny direct supernatural intervention in the past history of civilization, only do so to hide the truth.

Again quoting The Origin of Medical Practice, Chapter 6, under the heading "Supernatural Intervention," Charles Sherwin McMichael states:

"Babel was Satan's master project in leading the human race away from God in the years immediately after the Flood.  He did all in his power to keep it from failing!  Satan knew that it is impossible to avoid paying the penalty of transgression.  Once man has sinned, there is sure retribution.  He also knew certain of the physical penalties can be modified or delayed!
Delaying the penalty would establish the rebellion.  Relieving man from the immediate penalty would deceive him into believing his freedom to sin was assured.  The tower gave him a sense of security against another flood - medicine became assurance against the penalty of disease.  The tragic consequences would be paid, but later, at a time when mankind was so removed from God, severe suffering alone would not bring them back.
History reveals SATAN led Nimrod to establish the Art of Medicine!  The "god of this world" understood the principle of antibiotics!   He well knew which substances would have a devastating effect on bacteria.  It required no effort on Satan's part to determine the substances which were available for man to use as drugs - it simply had to be revealed!
All available records, secular and Biblical, maintain that the origin of medicine was supernatural.  And it was!   It is this facet of the early beginnings of medicine, which encrusted with fabulous tradition, have left it open to the charges of mythology!  All modern criticism to the contrary, history remains adamant - the origin of medicine was "of the gods."
"Almost every nation of antiquity came to refer the origin of Medicine to the IMMEDIATE INSTRUCTION of the gods"   (Hamilton, The History of Medicine, Surgery and Anatomy, p. 9).  Another historian adds, ". . . but even the gods themselves condescended to import their therapeutic secrets to mankind"   (McKenzie, The Infancy of Medicine,  p. 12).  Yes, the art of medicine was revealed to man!
In spite of such an amazing revelation, historians generally conclude that HOW ancient physicians learned the specific effectiveness of their remedies is of no importance!
When in fact, THIS IS VITAL!  The ancients communicated daily with the spirit world.  The priest-physicians even contacted "their spirits" for advice in individual cases!  As we shall see, it was through this intimate association with the spirit world that ancient physicians could maintain their rate of success.
Diagnosis, in difficult cases, was based on astrology, dreams, auguries, and visions.  Basically, there were three divisions in the medical priesthood (using the Mesopotamian names) the ashipu or exorcist, the asu or physician in the modern sense of the word, and the azu or diviner.  The latter's chief responsibility was divination.   He was a medium for visions and knew how to interpret them!
The relationship between doctor and patient went as follows.  The patient sought out a physician, as is done today.  In difficult cases, all of which were catalogued for future reference, the priest-physician would resort to a guiding spirit!   As all hospitals were originally temples, this was a simple procedure.  The physician then made the prognosis.  As both the patient's future and his own fate (per Hammurabi's Code) depended on his findings, ancient doctors were brutally frank!
Terse examples of ancient prognosis have been found.  "The favourable prognosis was expressed with the words:  'I [the physician] will cure this disease'; if the prognosis was doubtful:  'Nothing can be done in this case'; or if UNfavourable: 'The patient will die',"  (Castiglioni, A History of Medicine, p. 55).
As previously noted, Satan knew that the course of certain diseases could be altered AND he knew which specific substances would have a moderating effect on each ailment.  There were some illnesses which could not be halted at all by medication - even as today, physicians freely admit:  "There is no cure for the common cold."  Many times the patient heard the dreaded report of imminent death.  No hope was held out on the basis of experimentation, as ancient doctors were not allowed to freelance through trial and error with their medications.
The Bible records an example of just such doctor-patient reliance on the supernatural as late as 892 B.C.
 

Ahaziah's servants were sent to the priest-physician of the temple in Ekron.  In such matters, a priest was always the mediator between Satan and man.  The priest was to then inquire as to WHETHER Ahaziah could be healed with their medications or was doomed to die.  In this case, the God of the Bible intervened to foretell the outcome:  "Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die" (verse 4).
All diagnosis and treatment in ancient history, to the age of Hippocrates, was based on supernatural revelation!"

Sadly the truth has little impact on what people usually believe. Instead of believing the fact that the medical profession stems from paganism, they want to believe it is a way for people to get well and live longer, healthier lives.
 
The past history of medicine needs to be understood to properly comprehend why people won't live without it, EVEN THOUGH STATISTICS PROVE IT TO BE UNRELIABLE.

Here is what the medical profession has to say in its own publication!

J.A.M.A. Speaks

The Journal of the American Medical Association recently gave statistics that are grisly at best. Why don't people question a health care system that gives neither health nor care?

ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE KILLING 250,000 YEARLY!!!J.A.M.A. - (Journal of the American Medical Association) finally gives statistics! 250,000 Americans killed per year from medical errors. Also take the time to read where the U.S. ranks in health care out of 13 nations.... Would you believe in some cases 13th!!!

Compare these statistics to the loss of life yearly due to guns, airbags, drunk drivers, etc., or any other issue that take up mainstream press and ask yourself why this situation that kills 1/4 million Americans per year is never mentioned? I would like to add that you also pay highly for this extinction privilege.

These statistics are no joke, folks. (Emphasis mine)The death toll broken down-12,000 - die from unnecessary surgeries7,000 - die from medication errors in hospitals20,000 die from other errors in hospitals80,000 die from infections they get in the hospital106,000 die from adverse effects of medications

One thing that we do know is that it costs a lot. Yet, Jesus Christ paid the price for the health care of every man, woman and child who has ever lived and will ever live. Just how much money do doctors rake in?
1)        l950 -- 12 billion dollars.
2)        l960 -- l5.5 billion dollars.
3)        l970 -- 67.5 billion dollars.
4)        l980 - 229 billion dollars.
5)        l985 - 500 billion dollars.
6)        l995 -- l000 billion, or 1 trillion dollars!

That's for the USA alone for one year. How much have they made in the last 10 years?

Americans should all have glowing health for that kind of money but we are sicker than ever. Why? You're going to the wrong health care provider -- the wrong god. And you're being cursed by the real God. Medical science is not a science or an art. It's a religion.

The web site www.newstarget.com contains the following and more, about how dangerous the medical profession is to its patients:

America was rudely awakened to a new kind of danger on September 11, 2001: Terrorism. The attacks that day left 2,996 people dead, including the passengers on the four commercial airliners that were used as weapons. Many feel it was the most tragic day in U.S. history.
Four commercial jets crashed that day. But what if six jumbo jets crashed every day in the United States, claiming the lives of 783,936 people every year? That would certainly qualify as a massive tragedy, wouldn't it?
Well, forget "what if." The tragedy is happening right now. Over 750,000 people actually do die in the United States <http://www.webseed.com/United_States.html> every year, although not from plane crashes. They die from something far more common and rarely perceived by the public as dangerous: modern medicine <http://www.webseed.com/modern_medicine.html>.
According to the groundbreaking 2003 medical report Death by Medicine, by Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, 783,936 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine <http://www.webseed.com/conventional_medicine.html> mistakes. That's the equivalent of six jumbo jet crashes a day for an entire year. But where is the media attention for this tragedy?

Truly, this society serves Satan. God warns us about this world in 1John 2:15:
15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

This world loves its god, Satan the Devil. They don't really want to hear the truth in this article. How else can you explain why millions of people reject God as their healer except that Satan has blinded their minds?    

2Corinthians 4:4 
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The god of this world has created a system to blind the people so that they never learn to trust God or Jesus Christ. Because the carnal mind loves Satan's way, this society will always turn to the medical establishment. By their own choices, they cut themselves off from God.

Let's consider Paul's statement to the Ephesians.

Ephesians 2:12 
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Before those gentiles at Ephesus came into the Church of God, Paul says they were "in the world, having no hope, and without God and Jesus Christ."

The world outside of God's Church has no hope! They cannot go to God for healing unless they are called and repent of their sins and remain steadfast to the "covenant of promise."

God is our Healer.

Man cannot heal. The medical profession has always been a false god for the world to worship and adore.

Satan created the medical profession and the world depends on it. When Babylon is destroyed the people of this world will lament and cry in anguish because their way of life in rebellion against God will no longer exist.
