Elliot CowanModern medicine is not scientific, it is full of prejudice, illogic and susceptible to advertising. Doctors are not taught to reason, they are programmed to believe in whatever their medical schools teach them and the leading doctors tell them. Over the past 20 years the drug companies, with their enormous wealth, have taken medicine over and now control its research, what is taught and the information released to the public.

Ron PaulDo you know that the words meditation and medicine come from the same root? Meditation is a kind of medicine; its use is only for the time being.

Only when you are meditative twenty-four hours a day then can you attain, then you have attained. Even sleeping is meditation.
RajneeshOn his deathbed he asked for a priest and became a Catholic. That was his wife's religion. It was his own business and none of mine.

Hillary ClintonWhen you go to the hospital, there are so many medicines. You do not have to take all the medicines; just the ones that are needed for your malady.

Sathya Sai BabaMusic is the elixir of life. It can mimic the heartbeats of our bodies and heal like a magic wand... The resonance it creates in our bodies cannot be replicated by any medicine.
Walter MikacAll you have to do is send a message or somehow establish communication between the mind and body of the sick person. The mind should be in peace, so that the body can do the job. That's all the cure is. The body cures itself. Medicine allows it to get into that space where healing can take place.

The feeling that comes before the plotโs been learned.

Leon ChaitowFaith does not protect you. Medicine and airbags... Those are the things that protect you. God does not protect you. Intelligence protects you. Enlightenment. Put your faith in something with tangible results. How long has it been since someone walked on water? Modern miracles belong to science. Computers, vaccines, space stations... Even the divine miracle of creation. Matter from nothing... In a lab. Who needs God? No! Science is God!

Terry HayesIf one of you has seriously sinned, repent-now. It is not good to violate the commandments of the Lord. It is worse to do nothing about it. Sin is like cancer in the body. It will never heal itself. It will become progressively worse unless cured through the medicine of repentance.
Richard G. ScottBe ashamed when you sin, don't be ashamed when you repent [To repent means to have a change of heart and mind. It is not simply a feeling of sorrow ,but a psycho/spiritual growth away from evil/death and a turning to God/life]. Sin is the wound, repentance is the medicine. Sin is followed by shame; repentance is followed by boldness [ Boldness means to beg God for undeserved mercy]. Satan has overturned this order and given boldness to sin and shame to repentance.
Saint John ChrysostomThe American College of Sports Medicine found that the productivity of people after exercise was an average of 65 percent higher than those who did not exercise.

Intense exercise is like taking a magic pill that gives you the ability to solve problems like a superhero.
