“Diseases are human artifacts. Diseases are not just something Nature produces. They’re made by man, and the cures too.”

James Elliotson wrote (The Zoist, Oct. 1846) …

“On the 1st of January, a poor aged woman sustained a very severe comminuted [reduced to minute particles or fragments] fracture at the upper third of the right leg, the limb having for nearly three years, previous to the accident, been in a weakened condition, from extreme varicose ulcers. The immediate consequence of the injury was violent inflammation, and swelling; these were speedily followed by all the symptoms of commencing mortification, so that it became a question whether or not immediate amputation should be had recourse to. During this time the woman was suffering the most intolerable agony, for the relief of which I exhausted all the ordinary resources of our art, without avail. I then resolved, as an experiment, to try to induce the mesmeric sleep, and, to my great amazement and satisfaction, in about fifteen minutes, the wished-for relief was procured. This sleep lasted fully half an hour, with the extraordinary effect, on awakening, of perfect freedom from pain. The same process was gone through, morning and evening, for a period of three weeks, with the happiest result. The limb, from the first trial of mesmerism, began gradually to improve, and at length became quite consolidated. The ulcerated surfaces also healed. No other means than mesmeric sleep, except the ordinary treatment of keeping the limb steady and cool, were employed.”

“The idea is gradually coming in that cancer is not a disease but a way of life, and that cardiac problems are not a disease but a way of life. They are environmental.”

“Nobody hurts you but yourself. That’s Living to Die. What you say to your cells makes all the difference in staying alive or being dead.”
