Quote by Sigrid Nunez

“People must learn that shaking another person's hand is not a friendly thing to do. It is not a friendly thing to put other people at risk for infectious diseases." She and several other people were shown demonstrating the elbow bump, and the auditorium got raucous again. "We must also consider limiting the use of coins and paper money. For this, too, may cause diseases to spread. We must use technology and human ingenuity to develop ways so that, in their daily public transactions, people touch one another as little as possible. Ideally, we also want to touch as few buttons and handles and knobs as possible.”

“সুস্বাস্থ্যের সবচেয়ে বড় অংশটাই ওষুধ ও পথ্যের সাথে সম্পর্কিত নয়। এটার নিশ্চিতি হয় যখন মানুষের মনে, হৃদয়ে ও আত্মায় শান্তির সংস্থান হয়। ব্যক্তিস্বার্থে যারা অসৎ, অকৃতজ্ঞ, প্রতারক চরিত্র- তাদের ভেতরদেশ শান্তি থেকে বঞ্চিত, তারা স্বাস্থময়তার সুখ থেকে বঞ্চিত। কারণ, ভালোবাসাই এ সমস্ত ইতিবাচকতার উৎস, এবং তারা ভালোবাসায় অবিশ্বস্ত।”

“Indeed, these two contradictory extremes that medicine has tended to vacillate between: either women's reproductive functions are pathologized as innately abnormal - in which case any symptoms they bring are "normal" - or else it is claimed that they are normal so if they cause symptoms, it's only because an individual woman's response to them is abnormal - she's just especially sensitive or overreacting. In short, either all women are sick or some women are crazy.”

“If virulent germs were normal in the atmosphere, how numerous would be the occasions for their penetration independently by way of the lungs and intestinal mucus! There would not be a wound, however slight, the prick even of a pin, that would not be the occasion for infecting us with smallpox, typhus, syphilis, gonorrhoea. --as quoted in Béchamp or Pasteur?: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology By Ethel D. Hume on page 308 [prefaced by Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter: The Germ Theory Exploded By R. B. Pearson], ISBN# 978-1-46790-012-6, 2011”

“He who considers disease results to be the disease itself, and expects to do away with these as disease, is insane. It is an insanity in medicine, an insanity that has grown out of the milder forms of mental disorder in science, crazy whims. The bacteria are results of disease. In the course of time we will be able to show perfectly that the microscopical little fellows are not the disease cause, but that they come after, that they are scavengers accompanying the disease, and that they are perfectly harmless in every respect. They are the outcome of the disease, are present wherever the disease is, and by the microscope it has been discovered that every pathological result has its corresponding bacteria. The Old School consider these the cause, but we will be able to show that disease cause is much more subtle than anything that can be shown by a microscope. We will be able to show you by a process of reasoning, step by step, the folly of hunting for disease cause by the implements of the senses. –The Art and Science of Homeopathic Medicine, Mineola, NY: Dover Publications, Inc., Page 22, 2002. [Originally published as Lectures on Homœopathic Philosophy in 1900.]”
