Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food
The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~
The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.
Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.
The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food.
The Great Culling of the human race already has begun. It is being done through chemicals added to our drinking water, food, medicines, and the air we breathe - chemicals that have the known effect of reducing fertility and shortening lifespan.
In a speech earlier today President Bush said if Iraq gets rid of Saddam Hussein, he will help the Iraqi people with food, medicine, supplies, housing, education - anything that's needed.

People have amazing ideas. The main problem - I won't call it a problem, let's call it a roadblock - is if you use the analogy of a convoy of vehicles going to help a distress situation: they have all the resources needed (food, medicine, everything they need), and as the convoy is traveling, there's a rockslide.
