Rethinking Our History

In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."

So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

This week we take a look back in history at a man who changed the world with three simple words:

Wash Your Hands!!!!!

But during his time on earth Ignaz Semmelweis did not get the recognition he deserved and some people believe that that led him to lose his mind.

So here we are telling his story and hoping he knows we all appreciate him now.
