The cause is within us. The cure is within us. When we know this our concept of disease is no longer that of something fixed upon the body cells which must be purged, cut or burned away.

The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the causes and prevention of disease. ~Thomas Edison

People with diseases like AIDS and cancer feel an urgency in straightening out their lives, examining their purpose, and confronting the reality of death.

For many, it makes them truly cherish life and the ability to give and receive love. ~Jeff Seibert

Everyone should be his own physician. We ought to assist and not force nature. Eat with moderation what agrees with your constitution. Nothing is good for the body but what we can digest.

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. ~Hippocrates

I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system.

Every day we touch what is wrong, and, as a result, we are becoming less and less healthy. That is why we have to learn to practice touching what is not wrong—inside us and around us.

Most of the time we think we're sick, it's all in the mind. ~Thomas Wolfe
