More quotes by Andrew Weil
Treatment originates outside you healing comes from within.
Andrew Weil
Giving gifts to others is a fundamental activity, as old as humanity itself. Yet in the modern, complex world, the particulars of gift-giving can be extraordinarily challenging.
Andrew Weil
Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
Andrew Weil

Andrew Weil

Andrew Weil
Short naps are good. Given modern workplace demands, this is not possible for many people - but if you have the option, try napping for ten to twenty minutes in the afternoon, preferably lying down in a darkened room.
Andrew Weil
I don't think you can live without stress I think the human life is stressful, and it probably always has been, although the forms of stress may change from culture to culture, and from time to time.
Andrew Weil
Following an anti-inflammato ry diet can help counteract the chronic inflammation that is a root cause of many serious diseases, including those that become more frequent as people age. It is a way of selecting and preparing foods based on science that can help people achieve and maintain optimum health over their lifetime.
Andrew Weil
Whenever the immune system deals successfully with an infection, it emerges from the experience stronger and better able to confront similar threats in the future. Our immune system develops in combat. If, at the first sign of infection, you always jump in with antibiotics, you do not give the immune system a chance to grow stronger.
Andrew Weil
One of the most obvious ways dogs can improve our physical and mental health is via daily walks.
Andrew Weil
Massage therapy has been shown to relieve depression, especially in people who have chronic fatigue syndrome other studies also suggest benefit for other populations.
Andrew Weil
Human beings have survived for millennia because most of us make good decisions about our health most of the time.
Andrew Weil
The bottom line is that the human body is complex and subtle, and oversimplifying - as common sense sometimes impels us to do - can be hazardous to your health.
Andrew Weil
I fully support a national health care program for the U.S.
