"Disease bias means that we take
health for granted, waiting to act when health is gone and disease emerges.
Once we make this assumption, we can soon become so preoccupied that our
horizon is filled with diseases to combat. Because disease looms so large,
our sight is obscured to the possibilities of health."
- Russell Jaffe, MD

"There is something in the freshness
of food, especially vegetable food - some form of energy perhaps; it may be
certain rays of light or electrical property - which gives to it a
health-promoting influence. Certain it is that no synthetic diet that I
have been able to devise has equaled in health-sustaining qualities one
composed of the fresh foodstuffs as nature provides them."
- Sir Robert McCarrison, Nutrition and
Natural Health
