“We teach students a lot of things in the medical school, but we don’t really teach them the right things because whole of medical education is based on the industry. You will be surprised. Medical textbooks are written, ghost written by the industry, and then some professor’s name is lent, for of course a price, and then you say so and so’s book, and so and so’s book. So, what we learn in medical school is completely not the real truth.”

“The second thing is your mind – you hate somebody, you want to destroy somebody – cancer cells grow. You want to be compassionate, you want to love everyone – cancer cell dies.” “So, you have to be enthusiastic to work. The second thing is, you have to have enthusiasm for compassion.

Otherwise, you should not get disease. So why are we suffering? Situations have changed drastically; this is not unusual these days. And the most important thing is the immune system. It is a handyman which keeps you alive, has been knocked down by our modern lifestyle.”
