People who promote juice cleanses and like Consuming charcoal literally sound like “doctors” in Ancient Greece who thought people could get “hysteria” when their uterus moved around the body at will towards and away good or bad smells like stop trying to get me to go on a liquid diet I know it’s you Pliny The Elder

Hysteria was in like 1800s CE

the concept of hysteria as a sickness goes back a lot longer than the 1800s, it just ran under different names, but the idea was the same and it was almost always attributed to problems with the uterus

Pliny the elder was a Roman author who died in the Pompeii eruption bc he was real curious about it. Not Greek ):

Pliny The Elder wrote an entire book full of Great facts like how I could avoid getting wrinkles by rubbing leaves soaked in actual urine on my stomach so I feel at liberty and even obligated to get one or two things wrong about him
