Dara, then I realized that humanity has forgotten how to live. Everything ready, in 2020, mankind was not ready for such a scenario. Not enough alcohol, not enough masks, not enough glasses, not enough special suits, there was no antiseptic.
Moreover, in economically developed countries of the world.
The time has come for the survivors.
Alcohol, you can do it yourself. Dara recalled the Disavari show, Moonshiners is an American docudrama television series on the Discovery Channel produced by Magilla Entertainment*.
They could make moonshine themselves, get alcohol at 86 degrees. Why, in Germany and Canada, would citizens not be allowed to produce alcohol at home, selling quarantine - distillation apparatus! Then they would, 10 years ago, have had the will of alcohol.
Why didn't they find the old textbooks on civil defense and started to sew protective masks from fabric themselves? Why didn't they learn to sew protective suits from the film? Why didn't they humans learn how to make an antiseptic? And special glasses, they could buy in a system of stores or do it yourself?
The answer was simple, a consumer society, made of ordinary clerks, scientists, engineers, teachers and other specialties, loungers. They stopped thinking creation, they failed, to themselves, to provide remedies. But everyone could do it themselves.
Like that knowledge with encrypted data from other treatises, Dara did not seek academic rewards for revealing this secret. Since any secret has its own guards, why climb into the conservation area. Yes, and such knowledge they are special. Each person is unique, for one it will be a panacea, and the other will only exacerbate the disease.
It's like echinacea and ginseng, it helps someone and it is considered a super remedy for all diseases. And for some, these plants only enhance, even more likely, activate a chronic disease. Previously, in ancient times, of course, there were no licenses from doctors, so everyone could try themselves in this matter. And now space ships are going to conquer Mars, are you kidding? Use unverified data from ancient manuscripts, alchemy? What the heck is alchemy when there is chemistry, science, new knowledge, methods, and technologies!
Dara was ready to use the knowledge from the treatises that the system wanted to provide him, but only after clarifying them in pharmaceutical reference books. If the really old data were tested by modern pharmacists, then they could be used. And if not, then such data would be rejected by him.
At the same time, when prescribing healing treatment, you always need to get permission from your physician who is treating him, nothing else. Any plant you need to check with your doctor.
Some patients, not having received prompt treatment from ordinary doctors in hospitals, were looking for a quick cure from the healers, traditional medicine. And this is in the 21st century ?!
They suggested curing stomach ulcers by drinking an infusion of plants infused with aviation kerosene! And they advised this "miracle" medicine, educated people, with higher education, degrees of doctors of sciences! Scientists! How was that possible?
After all, any little-minded sane person could look in the therapeutic handbook and understand that kerosene would immediately cause peritonitis, a burn of the larynx. But in the 21st century, complete idiots still exist!
Drink gas and gargle to cure a sore throat? !!!! IDIOTS !!!
Therefore, Dara did not want to become like these idiots. He believed in the healing power of ordinary plants. Since he knew one feature of humanity, it sometimes forgot to intend, sometimes out of stupidity, to use the old methods that have been worked out by millions of people for centuries. Sometimes doctors can not do anything, and Parmelia or Cetraria helps to cure a patient with tuberculosis.
The man was able to cure gangrene by using a tar bath. Another was able to stop consumption by leaving the steppe and he drank only mare's milk.
That is, if the old cultivation methods of healing DAO were tested by pharmacists, then Dara was ready to use them. The main rule of the cook, and of any person, should be - do not harm another person!
The system told him that for every successfully prepared recipe, it will give him a reward.
If he managed to cook a delicious "Arabic soup" with healing properties, then he would receive a treatise "Natural Remedies for the Treatment of Respiratory".
After Dara ached and repeated for so long, the system spat out evil through its slumber:
MORON! I give you a treatise that has already been tested by your stupid pharmacists! Their knowledge is millions of years behind mine! So don't whine! Do not Cry! Data from these treatises can be applied to modern people! There are already indicated medicinal properties, contraindications, and side effects !!! Well, you are a bore !!!
Don't let me sleep, you freak!
Well, I just expressed my fears, nothing more, I will be restrained by Dara.
Now, finally, he could start cooking this soup further. Much depended on its final result. Dara could additionally attract new buyers.
