Hippocrates believed that the body must be treated as a whole and not a series of parts, and that "natural forces within us are the true healers of disease".
“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
