History of Pharmacology / Monday, April 20, 2009
[Found this in my Pharmacology lecture. Summarised for the layman]
2000 B.C - "Here, eat this root."
1000 - "That root is heathen, say this prayer instead."
1850 - "That prayer is superstition, drink this herbal medication."
1940 - "That herbal medication is snake oil, use this synthetic compound."
1985 - "That compound has too many unspecific side effects. Here, take this novel, tiny receptor-isoform specific patented compound. Oh, and pay us heaps."
2009 - "That novel compound is artificial. Here, eat this root!"
