1.) βThe cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure.β βCharles E. Page, M.D.
2.) βMedicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature they can only work symptomatically.β βHans Kusche, M.D.
3.) βIf all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity.β βO.W. Holmes (Prof. of Med. Harvard University)
4.) βEvery drug increases and complicates the patientβs condition.β βRobert Henderson, M.D.
5.) βThe greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning.β βHenry Lindlahr, M.D.
6.) βEvery educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine.β βRichard C. Cabot, M.D. (Mass. General Hospital)
7.) βMedicine is only palliative, for in back of disease lies the cause, and this cause no drug can reach.β βWier Mitchell, M.D.
8.) βThe person who takes medicine must recover twice. Once from the disease and once from the medicine.β βWilliam Osler, M.D.
9.) βMedical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drugs ( medicines ), more impurities are added, thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure.β βElmer Lee, M.D., Past Vice President, Academy or Medicine
10.) βOur figures show approximately four and one half million hospital admissions annually due to the adverse reactions to drugs. Further, the average hospital patient has as much as 30% chance, depending on how long he is in, of doubling his stay due to adverse drug reactions.β βMilton Silverman, M.D. (Professor of Pharmacology, University of California)
11.) βWhy would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick?β βL.F. Kebler, M.D.
12.) βWhat hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be expelled when the right drug is found?β βJohn H. Tilden, M.D.
13.) βThe necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines , is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.β βCharles Armbruster, M.D.
14.) βWe are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male population and illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists with millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs.β βRobert Mendelsohn
15.) βDrug medications consist in employing, as remedies for disease, those things which produce disease in well persons. Its material medica is simply a lot of drugs or chemicals or dye-stuffs β in a word βpoisons!β All are incompatible with vital matter ; all produce disease when brought in contact in any manner with the living ; all are poisons.β βR.T. Trall, M.D., in a 2 Β½ hour lecture to members of Congress and the Medical Profession, delivered at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.
16.) βDrugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of natureβs protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on , even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.β βDaniel H. Kress, M.D.
17.) βThis whole concept of autoimmune disease, again, is our insanity thinking that the body made a mistake.β βThomas Lodi, M.D., from his talk: βThe Truth About Cancer and Disease β Why Do We Get Cancer, Diabetes and Other Diseases?β
