History of Health & Medicine
Throughout history we have known that the best medicine, is no "medicine," but rather what we find in nature. Below are quote dating back thousands of years. Why haven't most doctors been listening?
"One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor Alive." (Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.)
"At the end of times the merchants of the word will deceive the nations of the world through Their Pharmacia." (sorcery) - Rev 18:23
"Doctors give drugs of which they know little, into bodies, of which they know less, for Diseases of which they know nothing at all." Voltaire
"The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it." Maimonides
"Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational." Hippocrates
"Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food." Hippocrates
"And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for Our diseases." Plato
"When you are sick of sickness, you are no longer sick." Old Chinese Proverb
"The carpenter desires timber, the physician disease." Rig Veda IX. 7.9
"What ails the physician that he dies of the disease. That he would have cured in time gone by? There died alike he who administered the drug and he who took it, and he who Imported and sold the drug, and he who bought it." (Verses upon the death in Baghdad of The physician Yuhanna ibn Masawayh in the year 857)
"The work of the doctor will, in the future, be ever more that of an educator, and ever less That of a man who treats ailments." Lord Horder "All drugs are poisons the benefit depends on the dosage." Philippus Theophrastrus Bombast That of Aureolus Paracelsus (1493-1541)
"All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the Challenge of science is to find it." Philippus Theophrastrus Bombast that of Aureolus Paracelsus (1493-1541)
"I find medicine is the best of all trades because whether you do any good or not you still Get your money." (Moliere: "A Physician in Spite of Himself," 1664)
"Never, no never does Nature say one thing and wisdom another." Johann Christolph Frederick von Schuller
"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine Will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom." Benjamin Rush, MD., a signer of the Declaration of Independence and personal physician to George Washington
"The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will Cure and prevent disease with nutrition." Thomas Edison
"If we doctors threw all our medicines into the sea, it would be that much better for our Patients and that much worse for the fishes." Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes, MD
"It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face." Sir William Osler, physician, 1849-1919
"We must admit that we have never fought the homeopath on matters of principle. We Fought them because they came into our community and got the business." Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA, 1903
"It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help And encourage the doctor within." Albert Schweitzer, M.D.
"One of the biggest tragedies of human civilization is the precedents of chemical therapy Over nutrition. It's a substitution of artificial therapy over nature, of poisons over food, in Which we are feeding people poisons trying to correct the reactions of starvation." Dr. Royal Lee, January 12, 1951
"The human body heals itself and nutrition provides the resources to accomplish the task." Roger Williams Ph.D. (1971)
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Your mother...

"What makes me so certain that the natural human lifespan is far in excess of the actual one is this. Among all my autopsies (and I have performed over 1000), I have never seen a person who died of old age. In fact, I do not think that anyone has ever died of old age yet. We invariably die because one vital part has worn out too early in proportion to the rest of the body." Dr. Hans Selye "Disease is a lack of health. Health is not a lack of disease." Unknown
"God, in His infinite wisdom, neglected nothing and if we would eat our food without trying to improve, change or refine it, thereby destroying its life-giving elements, it would meet all requirements of the body." Jethro Kloss
"You cannot poison your body into health with drugs, chemo or radiation. "Health" can only be achieved with healthful living." T.C. Fry
"Health requires healthy food." Roger Williams
"Nutrition can be compared with a chain in which all essential items are separate links. We know what happens if one link of a chain is weak or is missing. The whole chain falls apart." Patrick Wright, Ph.D.
"What is impossible to see from the viewpoint of those who believe in cures is that the very symptoms the good doctors have suppressed and turned into chronic disease were the body's only means of correcting the problem! The so-called "disease" was the only "cure" possible!" Dr. Philip Chapman - 1981
"It is time to lay to rest the notion that germs jump into people and cause diseases." Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D.
"It seems that some consideration should be given to the cause of our mounting physical disabilities, but instead of going to the root of our troubles -- wrong habits of eating and drinking -- we rush to the medicine shelf and smother our uncomfortable and distressing symptoms under an avalanche of pills, potions and palliatives." Brother Roloff
"The word incurable is modern. I suspect coined by allopaths. The word incurable is not found in any indigenous language. Translated it means: I do not know how to cure you. But instead of taking the responsibility to tell you that, or refer you to someone who might be able to help with your cure, I will instead guilt trip you and blame YOU for being incurable and ruining my day." D.
"The consideration of man's body has not changed to meet the new conditions of this artificial environment that has replaced his natural one. The result is that of perceptual discord between man and his environment. The effect of this discord is a general deterioration of man's body, the symptoms of which are termed disease." Professor Hilton Hotema
"Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws." Leonard Da Vinci
"When you're green inside, you're clean inside." Dr. Bernard Jensen
"If people only knew the healing power of laughter and joy, many of our fine doctors would be out of business. Joy is one of Nature's greatest medicines. Joy is always healthy. A pleasant state of mind tends to bring abnormal conditions back to normal." Catherine Ponder
"DO GERMS CAUSE DISEASE? Or could it be the other way around...first the disease, then the germs. Natural Hygiene contends that germs do not cause disease. They are not the originators. Most diseases occur when people allow themselves to become enervated, that is, low in nerve energy. As a consequence, the organs of excretion fail to function normally and waste material accumulates in the body. When this waste continues to build up, exceeding the body's toleration point, a crisis arises. The body, to offset this overabundance of poisonous matter, begins to react. The result of this reaction is sometimes a cold, the flu, pneumonia, or some such, depending on the individual. At this crisis point of elimination, germs may or may not be present. They are sure to come later, not to attack, but to assist in the cleanup or cleansing process." Dr. Alec Burton
"Disease is the warning, and therefore the friend - not the enemy - of mankind." Dr. George S. Weger
"Actually bacteria are our symbiotic partners in both health and disease. They serve a useful role. As scavengers, they make harmless or remove undesirable substances within our bodies. They also elaborate certain of our body needs. That is, they help build complex organic compounds from simple ingredients. A notable example of this is the production of vitamin B-12 in our intestines." T. C. Fry
"Infection is no war in which the body is fighting invaders. The bacteria that come to these sites are symbiotic and help the body in elaborating dead cells and tissues for expulsion - they are partners in the cleanup process. When this has been accumulated, the bacteria disappear and the wound heals. Infection...is a body cleaning process for a body burdened with toxic materials." T. C. Fry
"Germs do not cause disease! Nature never surrounded her children with enemies. It is the individual himself who makes disease possible in his own body because of poor living habits... Do mosquitoes make the water stagnant; or does stagnant water attract the mosquitoes? We should all be taught that germs are friends and scavengers attracted by disease, rather than enemies causing disease... As their internal environment is, so will be the attraction for any specific micro-organism... The germ theory and vaccination are kept going by commercialism." Dr. Robert R. Gross
"The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats that degenerates. Renew this fluid at regular intervals, give the cells what they require for nutrition, and as far as we know, the pulsation of life can go on forever." Dr. Alexis Carrell - Nobel prize winner
"We need to re-direct our perspectives of microbes and see them in a new light. In terms of bacteria, for example, we need to appreciate them as: Bodily inhabitants who assist us in such ways as protecting us from other organisms (e.g. fungi), assisting in digestion and metabolism of food, synthesizing vitamins, and helping to eliminate waste materials." Dr. Paul Goldberg
"The absorption and organization of sunlight, the essence of life, is derived almost exclusively through plants. Since light is the driving force of every cell in our bodies, that is why we need green plants." Dr. Bircher-Benner
"Warmth, moisture, food -- these are the causes that activate latent germs and arouse them to activity. They exist, all except the food, in the mouth, nose and throat at all times. The food is thrown out into these, as excretions, in disease. The germs feed on the excretions. They are scavengers. They were never anything else and will never be anything else. They break up and consume the discharge from the tissues. This is the function ascribed to germs everywhere in nature outside the body and is their real and only function in disease. They are purifying and beneficial agents.
The medical profession has worked itself into hysteria over the germ theory and is using it to exploit an all too credulous public. Germs are ubiquitous. They are in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink. We cannot escape them. We can destroy them only to a limited extent. It is folly to attempt to escape disease by attempting to destroy or escape germs. Once they are in the body, the physician has no means of destroying them that will not, at the same time, destroy the patient. We cannot avoid germs. We must be proof against them. We have to accept them as one of the joys of life." Dr. Herbert Shelton
"(Natural) Hygienists object to the germ theory of disease because germs do not cause disease. They may be present in disease processes, and they may complicate a disease with their waste products which can be very toxic at times, but the germ or virus alone is never the sole cause of disease." Dr. Virginia V. Vetrano
"Forgiveness, love and our connection with the Divine is the medicine that is healing the sickness of our time." J. Artos Roske
"When you see the Golden Arches you are probably on the road to the Pearly Gates." William Castelli, MD - Director, Framingham Heart Study
"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd - Past President of the American Medical Association
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), America is the 37th healthiest nation in the world. Basically the American Medical Association's team is in 37th place. When was the last time you took the word of a 37th place team as Gospel? Steve Plog - Founder, Results Project.
