Why is the medical symbol a snake on a stick?
Let’s start
with what happens today if someone gets a Heart Attack? The First and Most important
thing to do is dial 911. And then pray
that the ambulance comes in time!
100, 500, 1,000
years ago, this same person would go down on his knees and pray to GOD. Right?
So, 911 has
replaced GOD, somewhat. I know the religious people will want to tell me I am wrong,
but this is exactly what they will also do.
And then while
in the ambulance, on the way to the Hospital, this person would be praying to get
to the ER in-time. Because an ER Doctor wearing a special snake logo,
sometimes seen on the smock will save their life.
Cool huh?

The Winged Snake and Staff Logo Is From Hermes
UN/WHO Health Logo
Let’s look at the single serpent Logo
https://www.who.int/about/policies/publishing/logo
“WHO's emblem was chosen by the First World
Health Assembly in 1948. The emblem consists of the United Nations symbol
surmounted by a staff with a snake coiling round it.
The staff
with the snake has long been a symbol of medicine and the medical profession.
It originates from the story of Asclepius, who was revered by the
ancient Greeks as a god of healing and whose cult involved the use of snakes. Asclepius,
incidentally, was so successful at saving lives that, the legend goes, Hades
the god of the underworld complained about him to the supreme god Zeus
who, fearing that the healer might make humans immortal, killed Asclepius
with a thunderbolt.” (Bad – bad – very bad Zeus! LOL)
The rod of Asclepius
has served as a medical emblem for the past 2,400 years. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4190767/
Let’s check out the double serpent Logo

One of the
most important rites of passage a young doctor goes through is the Hippocratic
Oath. The staff of Asclepius has represented healing and renewal
for millennia and the original Hippocratic Oath is addressed to Asclepius.
!! But
!!
Six of the
premier medical colleges of our country had two serpents or a close
similarity to the Caduceus in their logos. The association of the snake with
healing and medicine is perplexing but a historical fact; many mythical reasons
have been attributed. Greek toxicologists studied the meaning and roots of the
snake’s usage as a medical symbol and explained that the snake’s ability to
shed its skin has been associated with the circle of life and the
snake’s possession of anti- venom against its own poison makes it a
metaphorical symbol for medicine.
The Caduceus
is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology and consequently by Hermes
Trismegistus in Greco-Egyptian mythology. The same staff was
borne by other heralds like Iris, the messenger of Hera. The
short staff is entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In
Roman iconography, it was depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury,
the messenger of the gods.

Ningishzida
The Serpent in Sumer
Ningishzida’s symbol in Sumer is the double
helix serpent. While the Bible chastises
the serpent, pretty much every other religion/culture seems to exalt the
serpent for some reason.
Now, Ningishzida
is the grandson of Enlil/Zeus.
Thus! Ningishzida is exactly the same as Hermes
where Zeus is the grandfather!!!
Did you just get that? The double serpent staff that the Greek GOD Hermes is holding is directly related to Ningishzida! (See the double serpent images above for Ningishzida.)
- Sumerian = Ningishzida (Dragon-God & Serpent-God)
- Mesoamerican = Quetzalcóatl (Aztec) Kukulkan (Mayan), Viracocha (Inca-Peru) and Wiracocha (Inca-Bolivia)
- Hindu = Virochana
- Greek = Hermes
- Roman = Mercury
- Egypt = Thoth
- Chinese = Fuxi and Nüwa
Did you just
see how the Greek Hermes with the medical double serpent logo is now
connected to the whole world! Man, when you have the correct information,
the whole world becomes a very small place.
The native
Americans describe Ningishzida as being a tall – white - bearded -
wearing a long white robe! See Chapters 12a, 12b, 12c!!!
(Don’t forget
that when the Peruvians saw the Spanish Conquistadors arrive in Peru in the
1500s, the natives remembered the legend of the tall-white-GOD and the
natives immediately fell to their knees and worshipped the Spanish. Easy
take-over for the Spanish.)
Also, the
Mormon church identifies Ningishzida as being similar with Jesus Christ probably
because it was Ningishzida who told the Mesoamericans that he will
return someday.
See below for
the representative serpent image of the “White-Bearded-Dragon”, ”Hermes = Ninghzidda
= Quetzalcoatl = Kukuklan = Xiuhtechtli = Viracocha” in Mesoamerica.
See the different
images of the double serpent around the ancient world!
The pictures above are the double serpent images from;
- Thailand
- India
- Sumer
- Babylon
- Syria
- Egypt
- Central America
- South America
- .. and more ..
So,
what we see here is that the same GODs and the same symbols can
be found all over the world. With the origins coming from Sumer – The Land
of Eden (or really called E.DIN!)
Discussion
So, what we
learn here is that while the Bible chastises the Serpent, all over the world,
the world-wide cultures actually herald the Serpent.
The Serpent was
associated with healing in the Greek mythology; thus, today’s medical community
uses the Serpent as their professional symbol.
Even hardcore
Christians today, in times of severe medical emergency will actually dial 911
on their phones first for medical help before they decide to pray to GOD. 911 is
the first priority to save their life.
And the person who is going to save their life will have the symbol of
the Serpent on their profession.
The medical
symbol of the Serpent is associated to the Greek GOD Hermes who is the
same as the Sumerian GOD Ninghizida (thousands of years before) and have
the same Grandfather Enlil/Zeus. (It’s fun when everything falls
into place neatly.)
Oh! And by the way – “All The
GODs Are The Same”
