Heresy, hot irons, and haemorrhoids

In a sick twist of The Gifted Kid Complex canon, Cher hosts a history based episode! That's right, it's a hard divergence from her usual interests, but she tackles Teia's territory in her own way.First, we’ll uncover one story codified in the Takenouchi documents, setting a very well known religious figure somewhere barely anyone would think to place him. To carry on from historical strange twists, Cher quizzes Teia on categorising whether the outdated remedies for various ailments were genuinely used, or if our team made them up. Cher’s word of the day: panacea, /ˌpæn.əˈsiː.ə/Noun: a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases. Definition from Oxford Languages.Sources for this episode: Chinese superstitions:https://www.ltl-shanghai.com/c....hinese-superstitions in Japan:https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1381&context=byusqhttps://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/g00658/keeping-the-faith-christ’s-tomb-in-aomori-and-japanese-religion.htmlhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-little-known-legend-of-jesus-in-japan-165354242/Julius Wagner-Jauregg: Malaria to treat GPIThe Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1927.
