Cannibal cures

I know that it seemed normal in the past and still seems normal in different places, but I just can't seem to grasp the idea that body parts served as cures for illnesses. It makes me sick to think that parts of the human body or produced by the human body were used to cure certain things. What makes me think the hardest is that they were so sure about each thing and what it cured. I wonder if those things really worked, or did they think it work and were these things almost like a placebo? How do you suppose they came to be so sure about the cures to everything?

  1. You know what, I thought the samething. Did they just hope for the sure to work especially when they are doing these cures on cadavers that are not living like a real person would be actually alive. I do not understand how do they try cures on cadavers first and feel they will work yet their organs are not pumping and they have no blood or pain exposed. I guess when it comes to science we have to leave it up to the scientist because I will never understand until I get to that position to learn.
