The Quotable Osler [Hardcover] Sir William Osler; Mark E. Silverman; T.J. Murray and Charles S. Bryan Hardcover – 11 March 2003

Want to see where all these "mystery" illnesses come from? Go read up on all the doctors that were sounding the alarm since the turn of the century right through to the 90s and early 2000s. Nothing is a mystery and it's all pretty clear once you start to investigate and read what these docs were saying. Not a mystery, much easily preventable if we're willing to give up a few things and get back to basics. The human body is one unit, anything you do causes a chemical reaction. Even your thoughts. Medicine changed when one really rich family decided to pair it with pills for treating everything "we have a pill for that". Every pill will create a chemical reaction and some unpleasant side effects to treat with another pill, and so on and so on, you get the industry. Go to the doc when it's a real emergency, otherwise good luck because it's quite the money generating industry. Osler was one doctor I wish was around teaching all other docs today!!

wonderful book by a physician who really treated patients not just a writer a quote for every occassion to be read with a brandy in hand
