The Cause of Disease

Someone recently shared this fantastic quote with me:

"That the number of diseases that originate from some unknown causes is far greater than those that come from mechanical causes, and for such diseases our physicians know no cure because not knowing such causes they cannot remove them. All they can prudently do is to observe the patient and make their guesses about his condition; and the patient may rest satisfied if the medicines administered to him do no serious harm, and do not prevent his recovery. The best of our popular physicians are the ones that do least harm. But, unfortunately, some poison their patients with mercury, others purge them or bleed them to death. There are some who have learned so much that their learning has driven out all their common sense, and there are others who care a great deal more for their own profit than for the health of their patients. A disease does not change its state to accomodate itself to the knowledge of the physician, but the physician should understand the causes of disease. A physician should be a servant of Nature, not her enemy; he should be able to guide and direct her in her struggle for life and not throw, but his unreasonable interference, fresh obstacles in the way to recovery." (From Paraganum, translated by Franz Hartmann)"

Written hundreds of years ago, this is still true! It is why people who choose the natural path to good health always work on the root of disease, not the branches.

Have a healthy day,
