Hippocrates, the "father of medicine", may have begun his
career. Other asclepieia were situated in Trikala, Gortys (in
Arcadia), and Pergamum in Asia.

supposed father of medicine

Hygieia and Panacea and by all the gods ..."

Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength
and ability and power; how He went about doing good
and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and

spiritual roots in the power of the devil

diseases were from the devil and the primary
healers were priests

way we view illness, its source(s) and its healing!

Healing
