The physician is Nature’s assistant.
Claudius Galen (c. AD 129 - AD 216)
  Galen was from Rome.
Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food. 
 Hippocrates 
 
    Hippocrates (Greece)
 
"Nearly two-thirds of a million men died in the Civil War.  All other U.S. wars put together add about another two-thirds of a million soldiers killed.  That means that about 1,300,000 Americans have died, totally, in all the wars in U.S. history.  That is a lot of deaths.

Today, right now, we lose more than that number of Americans each year because of  cardiovascular disease and cancer. 

So always remember that disease is the real enemy." Dr. Andrew Saul (1)
 

"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."   Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D.

  This is an old quote from the 19th century. It may have been true at the time, but I am not quite that cynical at the present time.

 

"During the American Civil War, three times as many soldiers died from disease as from battle.  Today, alcohol and tobacco kill nearly as many Americans in one year as the entire Civil War did in four." Saul (1)
  I'm a Saul man.

Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world.
Linus Pauling, in How to Live Longer and Feel Better, p. 274  

 

Vitamin C can truthfully be designated as the antitoxic and antiviral vitamin.
Claus W. Jungeblut, M.D.


One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. 
The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive. 
(Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.) 
  This is funny, but there is also some truth to it. Many of us eat too much. 

 

 Bat Hieroglyph

There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. 
Mahatma Gandhi 

      Gandhi
 
  He was assassinated in 1949 by a Sri Lanka rebel.
 
When all the land is destroyed, 
and all the fish are dead, 
then will the white man learn 
that he can't eat money. 
(Native American saying )

Blackhawk
