I wish there were easy answers to people's health questions. There aren't. There are answers, all right, but they are not easy.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.

Use vitamins in place of drugs. This takes some moxie to do, for we have been taught to be consumers of medicine. We have been taught that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective.

Doctors frequently get it wrong. One out of five patients today is in the hospital because incorrect treatment by a physician put him or her there.

It's unreasonable to expect medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies to tell you how to avoid their services by trying the alternatives.

We need total health more than medically approved health. Our wellness should not be limited to our doctor's experience, but enhanced by our own experience.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.

Change your life. If you want to get better, that is what you have to do.

If you want to be productive, follow leads and dig. Whether it is for oil, gold or information, it requires action - your action. Question authority. Do it yourself.

Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.

Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.

If we define ourselves by each of the ever-changing feelings that cascade through us, how will we ever feel at home in our own bodies and minds?

Tragedies break us, yet sometimes they make us.

I went on iTunes and looked at versions of Christmas songs. Everyone has done them!

George W. Bush attended the intelligence briefing every day. Obama has not even attended half of them. He sends surrogates. That to me is significant.

There is no greater mercy that I know of on earth than good health except it is sickness, and that has often been a greater mercy to me than health.

And I come from a small Vietnamese family. We're really close too, all ten of us.

Partition is after all only an old fortress of crumbled masonry - held together with the plaster of fiction.

It's always fun to try something new, and to play a new character, and it's fun to play another period.

'Nice' means nothing. Is it someone who doesn't swear and shout? I swear and shout. 'Nice' sounds ineffectual.

He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.
