Quote

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.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.
Andrew Saul
Image
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
Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.
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
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.
Andrew Saul
Image
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
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.

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

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

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.

Image
It's unreasonable to expect medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies to tell you how to avoid their services by trying the alternatives.
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
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.

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

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.

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.

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.

Healing is too big a topic for any one person to know it all.

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.
