“The Christian Bible is a drug store. It´s contents have remained the same but the medical practice continues. For 1,800 years these changes were slight--scarcely noticeable... The dull and ignorant physician day and night, and all the days and all the nights, drenched his patient with vast and hideous doses of the most repulsive drugs to be found in the store´s stock. He kept him religion sick for eighteen centuries, and allowed him not a well day during all that time.” YearsWellsChristianNightFoundPracticeCenturyDrugSickPatientStoresMedicalIgnorantDullPhysiciansDay And NightEighteenHideousDose Author:Mark Twain
“Love and intimacy are at the roots of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing...I am not aware of any other factor in medicine- not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery- that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death from all causes.” WellsSufferingCausesHealingQualityGreaterSadnessExerciseDrugRootsSickStressImpactMedicineIllnessFactorsIntimacyDietsSmokingSurgeryQuality Of LifeGeneticsPrematureIncidencePremature Death Author:Dean Ornish

“I think a lot of us who had these oddly shaped childhoods, in some ways we're hyper-capable. We're able to take care of ourselves in a lot of ways but it's like we're missing a piece. When everyone went to school to learn how to be a regular person we were sick that day. We compensate other ways. Alcohol and drugs is one of those ways. Instead of learning how to cope with our problems and deal with hardship and deal with anger, we just decide to get drunk and not care.” ThinkingWayPersonsProblemCareAbleSchoolDealsPiecesChildhoodMissingDrugCapableSickTake CareAlcoholDrunkHardshipHyper Author:Bucky Sinister
“We enslave, torture and then slaughter animals to eat them, then when we eventually become sick from that we enslave, torture and kill more animals in laboratories in the hopes of creating drugs to enable us to continue with our animal-abusive lifestyle!

And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve.
