I really think it would be cowardly to pull back and not challenge the status quo, when the status quo may not be the right way for the field to go.

I'm sure people think that I'm out in left field you know, playing by myself.

I think that we’re beginning to globalize medicine now. You have to take Eastern approaches and bring them to the West, and share West with the East.

You cannot drive a system that’s going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren’t sick and you don’t have to pay more money on them.

I believe science has a wonderful ability, in an unbiased way, to offer hope to many people who are confused, but it’s not the only way to find hope.

We don’t walk. We overeat because we’ve made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the ‘we’ is all of us. It’s not the government. It’s all of us doing this together.

Not enough families eat together. We eat in front of the TV while we’re absorbed in a program.

You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It’s the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans, and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well.

We don’t need sugar to live, and we don’t need it as a society.

You don’t have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
