Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food. Hippocrates One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive. (Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.) What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. Emerson If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Doctors give drugs of which they know little, into bodies, of which they know less, for diseases of which they know nothing at all. Voltaire What ails the physician that he dies of the disease That he would have cured in time gone by? There died alike he who administered the drug and he who took it, And he who imported and sold the drug, and he who bought it. (Verses upon the death in Baghdad of the physician Yuhanna ibn Masawayh in the year 857). I find medicine is the best of all trades because whether you do any good or not you still get your money. (Moliere: " A Physician in Spite of Himself, " 1664 http://doctoryourself.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
