Having recently done some research on health after some unforeseen circumstances, and after finding some noteworthy quotes in some books about optimal health, I thought it prudent to share the quotes I have collated overtime.
Most quotes are directly related to health, while others could be applied indirectly.
“Natural Forces within us are the true healers of disease.”
– Hippocrates
“Doctors give drugs of which they know little, into bodies, of which they know less, for diseases of which they know nothing at all.”
– Voltaire
“He who takes medicine and neglects diet wastes the skill of the physician.”

“One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive.”
– Hieroglyph In Egyptian Tomb
“Health is not valued till sickness comes.”
– Thomas Fuller
“Leave your drugs in a chemist’s pot if you can heal the patient with food.”
– Hippocrates
“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.”
– Benjamin Franklin
“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”
– Thomas Carlyle
“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”

“The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”
– Ann Wigmore
“Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health.”
– Dalai Lama
“Any food that requires enhancing by the use of chemical substances should in no way be considered a food.”
– John H. Tobe
“It is increasingly observed that the majority of pharmaceutical drugs, even those believed to have minimal adverse effects, such as proton-pump inhibitors and anti-hypertensives, in fact adversely affect immune development and functions and are most likely are deleterious to micribiota.”
– Stig Bengmark, MD, PhD, “Gut Micribiota, Immune Development and Function,” Pharmacological Research 69 (March 2013): 87-113
“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.”

“Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.”
– Jim Rohn
“You can’t poison a body into wellness.”

“Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.”

– Irish Proverb
“Psychiatric diagnosis still relies exclusively on fallible subjective judgments rather than objective biological tests.”

– Michael Pollan, “Unhappy Meals,” New York Times, Jan 28, 2007
“Pharmaceutical treatment has, thus far, failed to inhibit the tsunami of endemic diseases spreading around the world, and no new tools are in sight. Dramatic alterations, in direction of a paleolithic-like lifestyle and food habits, seem to be the only alternative with the potential to control the present escalating crisis.”
– Stig Bengmark, MD, PhD, “Gut Microbiota, Immune Development and Function,” Pharmacological Research 69 (March 2013): 87-113
