Avicenna

» jerrib - Maria:

As I was reading this article I was thinking about Leonardo da Vinci; funny you should mention him.

It's amazing how some folks go through this life and rarely seem to make a contribution, and those who do are humble to the point of not letting themselves be known to the world. Of course, in those days we had no quick communication methods.

I enjoyed reading about this man; if we could all contribute even a bit of what he did! The mind/body correlation is interesting. Doctors should go back and do their research! Amazing.

Another great article.

» mariaandrea - Thanks Jerri!

I had a lot of fun learning and writing about this man. He was fascinating! It's amazing how many "old" practices modern medicine is resurrecting. It's too easy to think that only the modern age of technology has all the answers to our problems. I touch on this subject again in my next article, Yin and Yang and You.

Thanks again for the always welcome and appreciated comments!

» pseudoerasmus - Avicenna

I've heard many Arabs claim that Avicenna was an Arab. This is totally incorrect. Avicenna was an ethnic Persian born in Bukhara, a city in what is now Uzbekistan. Three countries claim him as their son -- Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
