More quotes by Andrew Weil
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
In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.
Andrew Weil
Alternative models are neither right nor wrong, just more or less useful in allowing us to operate in the world and discover more and better options for solving problems.
Andrew Weil
Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.
Andrew Weil
The more people have, the less content they seem to be. In America, the cultural expectation that we're to be happy all the time and our children are to be happy all the time is toxic, and I think that really gets in the way of emotional well-being.
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
Any drug can be used successfully, no matter how bad it's reputation, and any drug can be abused, no matter how accepted it is. There are no good or bad rugs there are only good and bad relationships with drugs.
Andrew Weil
Human bodies are designed for regular physical activity. The sedentary nature of much of modern life probably plays a significant role in the epidemic incidence of depression today. Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication.
Andrew Weil
The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism revved up so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it.
Andrew Weil
Imagine a world in which medicine was oriented toward healing rather than disease, where doctors believed in the natural healing capacity of human beings and emphasized prevention above treatment. In such a world, doctors and patients would be partners working toward the same ends.
Andrew Weil
Even low-calorie diets and vigorous exercise fail to work in the long term for at least some people.
Andrew Weil
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
Andrew Weil
Insurance companies, whether private or government owned, must be compelled to pay for health-promoting measures. In turn, this will encourage physicians to offer such treatments in earnest.
Andrew Weil
Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.
Andrew Weil
Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is, gardening is just the opposite - it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.
Andrew Weil
It is unrealistic to want to be happy all the time.
Andrew Weil
I fully support a national health care program for the U.S.
Andrew Weil
I know of no culture in the world at present or any time in the past that has not been heavily involved with one or more psychoactive substances.
Andrew Weil
Learning to focus attention and concentration is very useful meditation can help you do that.
Andrew Weil
Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist.
Andrew Weil
