- COLLAPSE OF CIVILIZATION
"MOST MEN'S MIND PETRIFY BY MIDDLE AGE, AND ARE INCAPABLE OF NEW IMPRESSIONS. TO ΚΕΕΡ THE MIND FROM SOLIDIFYING INTO A GROOVE WE SHOULD MAKE OUR READING AS WIDE AS POSSIBLE. EVERYBODY HAS NOT THE OPPORTUNITY OF WIDE OBSERVATION AND INVESTIGATION, BUT ALMOST EVERYBODY CAN READ.
"ALMOST ANY MEDICINE THAT SERVES TO KEEP THE MIND OPEN IS SALUTARY IN A WORLD WHERE SO LITTLE IS, OR CAN BE CERTAIN. 'THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH A HUMAN BEING CAN MAKE SOME APPROACH TO KNOWING THE WHOLE OF A SUBJECT, IS BY READING AND BY HEARING WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT BY PERSONS OF EVERY VARIETY OF OPINION. NO WISE MAN EVER ACQUIRED HIS WISDOM IN ANY MODE BUT THIS."
"THE POVERTY OF OUR INTELLECTUAL ACQUISITIONS IS APTLY DEMONSTRATED IN THE MANNER THE PEOPLE HAS ACCEPTED ORTHODOX MEDICINE DOGMA FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS, AND THE VANITY OF THEIR BOLD OPINIONS THEY HAD IN THEIR CONTROVERSIES.
"THE READING OF THIS BOOK 'WHY HUMANITY SUFFERS, GIVES US A CONSCIOUSNESS OF OUR SHORTCOMINGS IN NOT MAKING PERSONAL INVESTIGATION AS TO OUR MODE OF LIVING AND THE 'WHY AND WHEREFORE' WHERE OUR NEGLECT AROSE.
"EVERY GREAT CIVILIZATION HITHERTO HAS, AT ITS CLIMAX, CONTAINED MORE INTELLIGENT VICE THAN INTELLIGENT VIRTUE; HENCE, APPARENTLY, ITS COLLAPSE. NOTHING WILL HASTEN THIS QUICKER THAN THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL SICKNESS OF THE PEOPLE."
- "A DUTY TO MY FELLOW-MAN"
"BECOMING COGNIZANT OF THE FACT AS OF THE CAUSE OF SO MUCH DISEASE, I FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY, RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE, IN PRESENTING THESE FACTS AS I HAVE FOUND THEM.
"I AM MINDFUL OF THE PROFESSIONAL SENSIBILITIES OF ORTHODOX AND UNORTHODOX MEDICINE. THE STATE- MENTS MADE ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE ETHICAL IN PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH, AND ISSUE A WARNING VOICE AGAINST THE FEARFUL DANGER TO LIFE, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS OF THE PEOPLE WHICH LURK UNDER THE DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS BOOK.
"WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE, WITH CHARITY FOR ALL, I ASK, LET TRUTH AND JUSTICE PREVAIL. THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE FIRST AND HIGHEST LAW DUE ΤΟ ΜΑΝΚΙND, AND THIS MUST BE BASED ON JUSTICE AND EQUITY IN THE PRESERVATION OF THE STATE AND THE PROTECTION OF ITS PEOPLE.
"GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE. THOSE APPOINTED TO RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS SHOULD BE FULLY CONSCIOUS OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND FIT THEMSELVES TO FULFIL THE PURPOSE OF SUCH APPOINTMENT WITHOUT FEAR, FAVOR, OR CONSIDERATION OF ANY INTEREST EXCEPT THAT OF THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE.
"IN THIS WORK I PRODUCE CONCRETE EVIDENCE THAT PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE CAN BECOME AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT WHEREBY MUCH SICKNESS CAN BE REDUCED, OTHERWISE, WE ARE HEADING FOR DISASTER."
