Inspiration

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Thomas Edison

I am a person who loves quotes — I love words, and combinations of words that inspire.  So I’m going to begin sharing with you, dear readers, more quotes, written by wise individuals.  There is so much wisdom to be found in the words of others — and I hope that some of these help inspire you to make it through another macrobiotic day - perhaps one that is more challenging than others.

As for this particular quote, isn’t it amazing that Thomas Edison, who lived in the late 19th century and into the 20th, had the foresight to know that much healing can come from within the body itself, rather than from the miriad of pharmaceutical remedies that have been developed over the years?  Or perhaps it isn’t all that amazing — as the medicine of the past is truly the medicine of the future - because when you get right down to it, what you put into your body becomes your body.  It just makes sense that you can heal your body by putting healing things in it:  grains, soothing vegetables, detoxifying sea-greens…  the wisdom in it is humbling, if you let it be.
