It's rare - too rare, I have to say - for botanists to become doctors.
Andrew Weil
Please keep in mind the distinction between healing and treatment: treatment originates from outside, whereas healing comes from within.
Andrew Weil
Another aspect of the psychedelic vision for me that has been very profound, is the sense that every-thing is alive or at that at least, there is no distinction between what we call living and non-living.

Andrew Weil
As an American, you have a right to good health care that is effective, accessible, and affordable, that serves you from infancy through old age, that allows you to go to practitioners and facilities of your choosing, and that offers a broad range of therapeutic options.
Andrew Weil
