"It must give every serious-minded person pause to reflect that, despite the best healthcare facilities, diseases continue to spread. We have high standards of hygiene that control factors such as diet, water, clothing, everyday items, industry, construction, waste, and climatic influences to prevent harm to health. Its most outstanding achievement is the eradication of epidemics; its most visible failure is the steady rise in disease rates, especially for heart disease and cancer." Dr. med. Heinrich Will

"The Germ Theory of infectious contagious disease is convenient because it provides what every simplistic view of a problem seeks before all else: a culprit, an invisible hare for the hounds to chase in their costly research labs, universities, hospitals, and drug factories. The fact that the hare can never be caught is the perfect guarantee that their race will never finish, their demands for funding will never cease, and their ability to generate profits for the drug and chemical corporations will continue to grow."

"We had accepted some half truths and had stopped searching for the whole truths. The principal half truths were that medical research had stamped out the great killers of the past – tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia, puerperal sepsis, etc. The data on deaths from tuberculosis show that the mortality rate from this disease has been declining steadily since the middle of the 19th century and was not altered measurably by the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, the advent of the tuberculin test, the appearance of BCG vaccination, the widespread use of mass screening, the intensive anti-tuberculosis campaigns, or the discovery of streptomycin. Similar trends in mortality have been reported with respect to diphtheria, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, pertussis, measles, and many others." Edward Harold Kass

"I no longer believe in Modern Medicine. I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner... the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine. I believe that Modern Medicine's treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they're often more dangerous than the disease they're designed to treat. I believe more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth--doctors, hospitals, drugs and equipment---and the effect on our health would be immediate & beneficial.....Modern Medicine can't survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science. It's a religion." Dr. Robert Mendelsohn
