Only 300 years ago the royals were cannibals. Prescribed books of doctors in the 17th century were full of heartbreaking recipes using these ingredients. For example, in patients with joint pain or getting rid of wrinkles, there was nothing better than rubbed human fat. That was the time of development, "Medical cannibalism," the most suitable for this term, and preparations using the body parts of the dead were used as often as we take paracetamol. In 1562 Queen Elizabeth (1558 - 1603) has caught a very common while disease-smallpox. The girl managed to survive, but for all life on her face remained otmetiny- ugly pockmarks. In the future, in order to mask them, the queen applied white lead, and according to some sources, and human fat mixed with beeswax and turpentine oil. Fat was taken from fresh corpses, mainly those who were executed by hanging. The personal surgeon of Queen Elizabeth, John Balister lobbied for the treatment of ulcers, wounds and bleeding Egyptian mummies, which fell after the looting of graves in the British Museum. They were in such good condition that many thought that they contain great healing power. For therapeutic use part mummies pounded into powder and mixed with the drink. On the bandage is too extended. Queen Elizabeth also suffered greatly from bad teeth, it was not surprising when the level of dentistry. In the end, she lost almost all his teeth. In medicine, in those years, for the treatment of teeth, it is possible to apply powder of dead teeth, mixed with the dog's milk. For the treatment of cavities and holes in the teeth by the way is actively used "brain partridges," although that is passed off as it is still a big question. When Elizabeth English throne came first king James (1603-1625), who later was known as the most disgusting monarch in history as never washed. From a young age he began to suffer from severe gout, and his personal physician, Theodore Turquet de Mayerne rubbed his knuckles drug from human fat. James was also written out a prescription for arthritis, consisting of scrapings from fresh human skull from the unburied, along with herbs and white wine which should have a drink at the full moon. The skulls all actively used in medicine as a rich and poor, from the 16th to the early 19th century. Sometimes they used their bones, sometimes "the moss with the skull." The truth is, even James was the limit of disgust and he shied away from the absorption of individual body parts of corpses and once gave up the powder from the skull. After James rules the infamous King Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649 year. The people there were rumors that the blood monarch rather polzitelno health and when the blood of Charles splattered under the ax of the executioner hundreds of sufferers rushed her to collect it. The next king, Charles II, pass for jovial, spent as much as 6000 pounds in 1670 to a mixture of of cranial powder and liquid droplets called Goddard, in honor of the chemist who invented it. The recipe can be used to treat many diseases. As the sheer alcoholic, Charles II often needed a reliable means of a hangover. And it was invented a special recipe based on the same Goddard drops. In the 17th century, one diarist wrote that in the chemist's office was found dismembered corpse of a stillborn baby, perhaps his own son, which he used for his experiments. For the treatment of epilepsy has been a lot of recipes. For example, one was based on the powder from the "dust of the baby." There were also recipes from the genitals bears, puppies, fly larvae, earthworms mating ... It's hard to imagine what it was based doctors, including one or the other component in the recipe. Fortunately, by the early 19th century, most of the strange cannibal recipes are gone. Although some still walk among UK people.
