“Health is normal. The human body is a self-repairing, self-defending, and self-healing marvel. Disease is relatively difficult to induce, considering the body’s powerful immune system. However, this complicated and delicate machinery can be damaged if fed the wrong fuel during the formative years. The chronic diseases commonly associated with aging—hypertension, coronary artery disease, Type II diabetes, degenerative joint disease, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s, as well as most cancers—are not the inevitable outcome of the aging process; they are born out of wrong food choices earlier in life. Healthy living with nutritional excellence throughout life can slow the decline of aging. It can prevent the years and years of suffering in ill health that is so common today as people get older and become dependent on medical treatments, drugs, and surgery. Medical intervention does very little to slow the progression of illnesses and gradual mental and physical decline. Nutritional excellence is the only real fountain of youth.”

“It is chronic water shortage in the body that causes most diseases of the human body.

“Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.”

“In all of western civilization, there is nothing more common than coronary artery heart disease, and that is because of the foods that most people eat every day.”

“Twenty years from now, the disease, 'presenile dementia' will be understood as well as diabetes is today.”

“Diseases of the mind are more common and more pernicious than diseases of the body.”
Morbi perniciosiores pluresque sunt animi quam corporis.

“When our bodies are violated by this horrible disease of cancer, we’re in total shock because it’s so unexpected.”

“I think of genes in two ways. There are dictator genes. Those genes give orders—blue eyes or brown hair—and you don't have any choice. The genes for diabetes, heart disease, or certain forms of cancer, they're more like committees giving suggestions. But you've got a lot of control over whether those genes ever express themselves. The vista on diet-related disease is spreading out in a bigger way than we ever imagined. We thought maybe diet affected heart disease and a few cancers. Then there was diabetes. Now it's also brain disease—not only stroke but also Alzheimer's. We thought that was entirely due to genes and age. Now we know it's due, to a very substantial degree, to diet. We've got control. Not perfect control, but certainly control we never had before.”

“We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family-disease of all the children of Adam.”

“Alzheimer’s disease is death before death, and I’m terrified of it.”
