“I am not involved in any 'issues' because it's too sensitive for me - or my wife - to get involved. Every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself. And the whole purpose of living in the countryside was to get away from hundreds of people.

“Bypass surgery, angioplasty,and even diagnostic angiograms are so over used that, in my opinion, it constitutes criminal behaviour by the cardiologists and surgeons involved. Well controlled scientific studies have shown bypass surgery simply doesn't work, except to relieve severe chest pain. Those who have the surgery didn't even have a trend of longevity benefit compared to those treated without it. Yet, each year hundreds of thousands cave into the obvious fear tactics used by agressive heart doctors and submit to the bypass operation” YearsWellsHeartPainUsedOpinionStudyInvolvedBenefitsDoctorsObviousCriminalsTreatedOperationsControlledChestsTrendsSubmitBehaviourLongevitySurgerySevereCavesTacticsSurgeonsBypassCardiologistAgressive Author:Julian Whitaker

“If we choose an external marker as the measure of our inner worth, whether it is the amount of money we make, or others' opinion of us, or the success of some project we're involved in, sooner or later we're bound to be battered by life's inevitable changes. After all, money comes and goes, and thus is an unstable source of self-esteem, an unreliable foundation upon which to build our identity.” IfsSelfOpinionSelf EsteemIdentitySourceAmountInvolvedProjectsFoundationBoundsEsteemInevitableSooner Or LaterComes And GoesUnstableUnreliableBatteredMarkersOthers OpinionsInevitable ChangeMoney Comes And Goes Author:Dalai Lama
