Millions of people are suffering needlessly as a direct result of
the food industry and the drug manufacturers' unconscionable
zeal to earn hundreds of billions of dollars, aided and abetted
by scientists who have been paid handsomely to fudge, even
falsify, test results.

Hippocrates was a Greek
physician born in 460 BC on the
island of Cos, Greece. He
became known as the founder
of medicine and was regarded
as the greatest physician of his
time. He based his medical
practice on observations and on
the study of the human body. He
held the belief that illness had a
physical and a rational
explanation. He rejected the
views of his time that
considered illness to be caused
by superstitions and by
possession of evil spirits and
disfavor of the gods.
Hippocrates held the belief that
the body must be treated as a
whole and not just a series of
parts. He accurately described
disease symptoms and was the
first physician to accurately
describe the symptoms of
pneumonia, as well as epilepsy
in children. He believed in the
natural healing process of rest,
a good diet, fresh air and
cleanliness. He noted that there
were individual differences in
the severity of disease
symptoms and that some
individuals were better able to
cope with their disease and
illness than others. He was also
the first physician that held the
belief that thoughts, ideas, and
feelings come from the brain
and not the heart as others of
his time believed.
Hippocrates traveled throughout
Greece practicing his medicine.
He founded a medical school
on the island of Cos, Greece
and began teaching his ideas.
He soon developed an Oath of
Medical Ethics for physicians to
follow. This Oath is taken by
physicians today as they begin
their medical practice. He died
in 377 BC. Today Hippocrates
is known as the "Father of
Medicine".

The Hippocratic Oath
Original, translated from Greek.
“ I swear by Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the
goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath.
To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in common with him
and if necessary to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to
teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the
sons of the master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have
agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone the precepts and the instruction.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment
and never do harm to anyone.
To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death.
Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this
operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from
all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or
with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with
men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in
all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
