“The advanced members of the medical profession know that the health of society is not to be obtained or maintained by medicines; - that it is far better, far more easy and far wiser, to adopt substantive measures to prevent disease of body or mind, than to allow substantive measure to remain continually to generate causes to produce physical and mental disorders.” KnowsMindBodyCausesEasyProduceMembersDiseaseMedicineProfessionMedicalDisorderWiserMedical ProfessionMental Disorder Author:Robert Owen

“The diagnosis of drunkenness was that it was a disease for which the patient was in no way responsible, that it was created by existing saloons, and non-existing bright hearths, smiling wives, pretty caps and aprons. The cure was the patent nostrum of pledge-signing, a lying-made-easy invention, which like calomel, seldom had any permanent effect on the disease for which it was given, and never failed to produce another and a worse.

“Illness is something out of balance, rather than something within balance. It's been something that is created and it's been created for a purpose and a reason, and that purpose or reason may not be obvious to the person that has the disease. Nevertheless, there is something going on and it's not always easy to find that out.” MayPersonsReasonPurposeEasyBalanceDiseaseIllnessObviousNevertheless Author:Fred Alan Wolf

“It's clearly a crisis of two things: of consciousness and conditioning. We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.” YearsMindTwoWarEndsEasyAbilityConsciousnessVisionPlanetsSkillsDiseaseBehaviorIntellectualCrisisHungryCuresTwo ThingsEngineeringTechnologicalOur PlanetConditioningMind BlowingBad BehaviorAbility To ChangeBlowing ItSave Our Planet Author:Terence McKenna

“And what physicians say about disease is applicable here: that at the beginning a disease is easy to cure but difficult to diagnose; but as time passes, not having been recognized or treated at the outset, it becomes easy to diagnose but difficult to cure. The same thing occurs in affairs of state; for by recognizing from afar the diseases that are spreading in the state (which is a gift given only to the prudent ruler), they can be cured quickly; but when, not having been recognized, they are not recognized and are left to grow to the extent that everyone recognizes them, there is no longer any cure.” StatesLeftGivenGrowsEasyDifficultDiseaseAffairTreatedCuresRulersPhysiciansRecognizingPrudentTime PassesAfar Author:Niccolo Machiavelli
