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 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.
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.

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.
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.

I wish there were easy answers to people's health questions. There aren't. There are answers, all right, but they are not easy.

Image
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.

Image
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.
Andrew Saul
Image
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
Image
Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.
Andrew Saul
Image
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
Image
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.
Andrew Saul
Image
It is a distinguishing feature of natural therapies that they are straightforward and reliable enough to safely do on your own, at home.
Andrew Saul
Image
Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.
Andrew Saul
Image
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
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
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
Image
I believe that alternative healing methods are much more than just temporary or half measures.

Image
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.
Andrew Saul

If you are not highly educated, you will need to abandon your anxiety and fear of reading and doing research.
