The True Terrors Of Tudor Medicine | Hidden Killers | Timeline

Dr Suzannah Lipscomb takes us back to Tudor times in search of the household killers of the era.
It was a great age of exploration and science where adventurers returned from the New World with exotic goods previously unknown in Europe. An era in which the newly emergent middle classes had, for the first time, money for luxuries and early consumer goods, many of which contained hidden dangers.
The period also saw a radical evolution in the very idea of 'home'. For the likes of Tudor merchants, their houses became multi-room structures instead of the single-room habitations that had been the norm (aristocracy excepted). This forced the homebuilders of the day to engineer radical new design solutions and technologies, some of which were lethal.
Suzannah discovers that in Tudor houses the threat of a grisly, unpleasant death was never far away in a world (and a home) still mired in the grime and filth of the medieval period - and she shows how we still live with the legacy of some of these killers today.

    As far as how painful decaying teeth are; VERY. I had the misfortune on being born into a family with severely bad genetics, and teeth are, unfortunately, affected in my family. Most of my maternal side have had their teeth removed by their mid-30s, and I had mine out by 29. Having children can also cause teeth to decay, since they require a lot of calcium. Teeth are basically a giant deposit of calcium, and enamel on teeth with slowly deteriorate while your pregnant if you don't consume or produce enough calcium. My enamel was gone by the time I was 21 and pregnant with my 2nd child, so my teeth were already destroyed when that pregnancy took more calcium from my teeth, making them break down and apart. A broken tooth will allow for infection to set in quickly, with a direct access to the root of the tooth, causing severe pain. Abscesses happen more quickly, which can be dangerous, since the infection to can get into your bloodstream and spread throughout your body, affecting multiple parts, and if it reaches a vital organ, like your brain, it can be deadly. So, for a hint of advice from someone who suffered greatly due to horrible genetics and circumstances that lead to full dental removal: TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAMN TEETH.

    Keep your overall internal acidity levels,,stable including saliva. Vomit will not only breakdown your esophagus' tissue but also the oral cavities (the entire parts of mouth). As for cleaning mouth after eating and/or snacking, instead of using floss (as the gums are sensitive ingeneral and w/ a relatively healthy diet excluding products that harm rather than hekp stabilize acidity levels overall), i rinse & gargle, my mouth out w/ clean water. I also do not swallow (most of the time), my accumulating saliva. My saliva needs to be close to the same density as water as sodium/salt and sugars ingeneral, will hekp create a 'gelatinous' affect internally. Dilluting my saliva and disposing of it until it's relatively close to the same density as water, then i may swallow saliva (i actually do not swallow accumulating saliva most of the time until it's past the 'foamy' stage

    This video was chock full of helpful information. It's comforting to know that promiscuity was just as rampant in the Tudor era as it is now. The bricks in the chimneys of the Tudor era breaking due to the high heat of burning wood might explain why my mother's Day Road house chimney broke. Perhaps the man that built our chimney used the wrong kind of bricks. All the deaths by drowning help explain why so many people are afraid of the water. I've always been interested in herb gardens and old wives tale cures for illnesses. I love the section on the herb garden. Housekeeping and wifery is serious business. I can't help thinking prayer to God must work. The Tudor era was so dangerous it's a miracle more people didn't die. Thanks again for making this video.

    Funny how there are brick chimneys still in England that are several hundred years old- much much older than America, and they are still removing the smoke from wood and coal to this day- mostly because they were lined with lime mortar, as I discovered with my own house they built the chimneys of the house first and built the rest of the house round them, for how else could they have been lined with mortar?

    The drowning section is brilliant. Clearly the reduction of death by drowning over or after the Tudor Period is one of the great inventions in human history. Dr Libscomb's demonstration fits what I know about drowning. She only left out one factor - alcohol. (About 30 years ago the parks of Los Angeles County where there are some lakes, banned alcohol. Water emergencies in one year went from (I think I remember) 47 to zero.

    This only works if you have a road though. Of you must go from your front door all the way to a river on what is likely a very muddy dirt path, a wagon wouldn't have worked at all. Certainly in some circumstances it may have worked, but for the most part there simple wouldn't have been a path sturdy enough to run small wheels on. A sled would be too heavy with water on it and friction simply would not have allowed it to move very efficiently at all. This of course brings the idea that you could perhaps use a horse-drawn cart with much larger wheels. However, most middle class families would have only one horse or two oxen(in the case of a small farming family in order to pull the plow and make short journeys on in the city you may not have had either) and likely not a cart more sophisticated than a flat ox-cart as those were incredibly expensive were you to buy one and incredibly time consuming (In the 1600s making a wheel was very difficult as it involved treating the wood to the point that it is pliable enough to make circular) if you were to build one. It would have taken time that the farmer did not have. TLDR; Basically, it is not as easy as it may seem to us now. Heavy water, fragile wheels on heavy carts, the surprising expense of horses, the poor roads and paths. Things improved quite a bit even just 100 years later in the 1700s when things such as wheels became easier to get, but in the case of the 1600s which is the focus of this documentary, even a hand-pulled cart was a bit of a luxury.

    Well, the increase of dentition problems in the 16th century CAN be true, but based on my experience with a forensic anthropology course on a population from a Dutch13th century monastery - a lot of the skulls had caries, inflammations, periodontitis. We proposed they had eaten sweet fruits like figs. Also, as archaeologists we also see an increase of (dental) illness with the onset of agriculture, i.e. moving from hunter gathering to sedentary life, so 5000-3000 BC depending where you are.
