HIPPOCRATESHe who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
HIPPOCRATESEveryone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.
HIPPOCRATESA sensible man ought to think about that well being is the best of human blessings, and find out how by his personal thought to derive profit from his sicknesses.
HIPPOCRATESIdleness and lack of occupation tend – nay are dragged – towards evil.
HIPPOCRATESIn all abundance there is lack.
HIPPOCRATESThe patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
HIPPOCRATESThe wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
HIPPOCRATESEven when all is known, the care of a man is not yet complete, because eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise. For food and exercise, while possessing opposite qualities, yet work together to produce health.
HIPPOCRATESNature itself is the best physician.

HIPPOCRATESWe must turn to nature itself, to the observations of the body in health and in disease to learn the truth.
HIPPOCRATESAnd if incision of the temple is made on the left, spasm seizes the parts on the right, while if the incision is on the right, spasm seizes the parts on the left.
HIPPOCRATESThat which is used – develops. That which is not used wastes away.
HIPPOCRATESI also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
