Web Archive link because I don’t want to support anyone hosting that vile stuff.

Really makes me think about the illnesses with no known cause we often blame on “hysteria”.

It does seem to be a pattern that illnesses of unknown cause (with physical symptoms) are blamed on psychology… until a cause is found.

See how peptic ulcers were treated before the discovery of “H. Pylori” or just the general history of Lupus.
