Medicine is aptly described as an art, not a science. To this end, four different doctors may have up to four different diagnoses or prescriptions.

If you are not highly educated, you will need to abandon your anxiety and fear of reading and doing research.
Andrew Saul
Image
he very word patient implies passivity and powerlessness. Me-teacher-you-dumbbell, or me-doctor-you-patient, or me-politician-you-voter, or any other paternalistic or maternalistic stay-in-your-place tradition will not pass muster with me.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.
Andrew Saul
Image
We have been taught to just eat a balanced diet. We have been taught wrong. The truth is natural healing works.
Andrew Saul
Image
We can take more time and interest, and give more attention to our personal health than a hired professional can. We have learned to go get medical help, not to give it. We have learned to relay our body's needs to another, not to provide them ourselves.

Image
Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.

Andrew Saul is John Hall in a business suit. He's wrong on the war, on national security, immigration, abortion. He's Sue Kelly all over again.

If you are well educated, and especially if you are a health professional, you will have to unlearn much of what you've been taught and start afresh with the rather disruptive thought that natural healing may actually work.
Andrew Saul
Image
Most medical personnel remain largely unfamiliar with non-medical treatments, and tend to dismiss them without knowing about what they're dismissing. This is a great loss to the doctor as well as to the public.

If you want to be productive, follow leads and dig. Whether it is for oil, gold or information, it requires action - your action. Question authority. Do it yourself.
Andrew Saul
Image
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.
Andrew Saul
Image
I believe that alternative healing methods are much more than just temporary or half measures.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.
Andrew Saul
Image
If you have never tried a plant-based diet, start. If you've never juiced vegetables, start. If you've never taken vitamin C to saturation, start. If you have never done a half-hour fitness workout each day, start. But, there is no such thing as a free lunch, a quick fix or a magic wand to cure illness.

A hospital patient can expect one medical error every single day of any hospital stay. Malpractice suits are numerous enough that one may reasonably conclude that there is certainly no guarantee of proper health care by contracting it out.

Change your life. If you want to get better, that is what you have to do.

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.

Image
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.

This is America, and you have the right to remain sick. If you choose to treat yourself and your family, that is within your rights, and is necessarily your sole decision based on what you know to be best.
