"A doctor's authority in America often exceeds his or her knowledge. Whole bodies of knowledge in healing are ignored because they are unorthodox and non-medical. A doctor's education seems exhaustive, yet MDs study so much about drugs and surgery - and so little about nutrition, fasting, herbal remedies, spinal manipulation, massage, vitamin and mineral therapy, homeopathy, and more - that we realize their qualifications are incomplete."
"Modern medicine has created more co-dependents even than co-pays. We've learned to hold out for a magic bullet such as a new miracle drug, breakthrough surgical procedure or new organ transplant. What rubbish."

"Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars."
"Use vitamins in place of drugs. This takes some moxie to do, for we have been taught to be consumers of medicine. We have been taught that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective."
"Doctors frequently get it wrong. One out of five patients today is in the hospital because incorrect treatment by a physician put him or her there."
"It's unreasonable to expect medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies to tell you how to avoid their services by trying the alternatives."
"We need total health more than medically approved health. Our wellness should not be limited to our doctor's experience, but enhanced by our own experience."
