All disease starts in the gut.

Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.

The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.

Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.

Where prayer, amulets and incantations work it is only a manifestation of the patient's belief.

Just as food causes chronic disease, it can be the most powerful cure

Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations. And by this, in an especial manner, we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear and know what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are sweet and what are unsavory…. And by the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us….All these things we endure from the brain when it is not healthy….In these ways I am of the opinion that the brain exercises the greatest power in the man.
