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.

More quotes by Andrew Saul
Healing is too big a topic for any one person to know it all.
Andrew Saul
I believe that alternative healing methods are much more than just temporary or half measures.
Andrew Saul
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.
Andrew Saul
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.
Andrew Saul
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.
Andrew Saul
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
Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.
Andrew Saul
Change your life. If you want to get better, that is what you have to do.
Andrew Saul
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
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.
Andrew Saul
No person knows your body better than you. The world's most sophisticated and sensitive diagnostic apparatus is your own body's feelings.
Andrew Saul
Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.
Andrew Saul
It is possible to learn more than your doctor knows, particularly in key areas that specifically apply to you. In fact, you may discover material that your doctor never saw, or did see and never investigated.
Andrew Saul
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.
Andrew Saul
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.
Andrew Saul
Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.
Andrew Saul
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
It's unreasonable to expect medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies to tell you how to avoid their services by trying the alternatives.
Andrew Saul
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.
Andrew Saul
If we learn more than the doctor in areas of value to our health, it is our duty to apply this knowledge to the betterment of ourselves and our families.
Andrew Saul
