Disease Prevention Quotes

#1. I urge you not to buy my books right now, instead use that money to help someone in need. Philosophy can wait, but humanity cannot. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#2. In regard to the aetiology of infectious diseases we must abandon the notions conceived in time of Koch, Ehrlich and Pasteur on the 'pathogenic' nature of the microorganisms of external and internal media. In the full sense of the word it is not the bacteria themselves that are pathogenic, but those physiological correlations which exist in the given organism at a particular moment and which are organically connected with the disturbances in its regulative systems and nervous mechanisms. There are no special 'pathogenic' microbes in nature; there are, however, no end of factors that promote susceptibility in a normally resistant subject, and vice versa. #Quote by Arshavir Ter Hovannessian

#3. Right now the first and foremost priority of the entire humankind must be to plank the curve through self-isolation. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#4. It is not possible to live in a malaria endemic zone without either being sickened by it oneself or without knowing someone who has had it or been hospitalized with it or without personally knowing at least one man, woman or child who has died from it or without knowing at least one woman who has lost her unborn baby from it. #Quote by T.K. Naliaka

#5. Separation from the community creates isolation. Isolation is the source of most physical, emotional and spiritual disease. #Quote by Sharon Weil

#6. Malaria-hosting mosquitoes will not wait politely during their most active evening feeding hours for people to go to bed under mosquito nets. #Quote by T.K. Naliaka

#7. According to the comprehensive Global Burden of Disease project, the leading risk factors for ill health and premature death are linked to lifestyle, what we eat and drink and how much we exercise. Disease prevention does not occur in the hospital. We need the whole of society to be involved. #Quote by Jonas Gahr Store

#8. Stay calm, stay safe and seek medical information only from trusted officials and actual healthcare experts. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#9. He who cures a disease may be the skillfullest, but he that prevents it is the safest physician. #Quote by Thomas Fuller

#10. To paraphrase Lucretius, there's nothing more useful than to watch a man or woman in times of contagious deadly disease peril combined with his or her assumptions of financial adversity to discern what kind of man or woman they really are. #Quote by T.K. Naliaka

#11. Helping people better manage their upsetting feelings - anger, anxiety, depression, pessimism, and loneliness - is a form of disease prevention. Since the data show that the toxicity of these emotions, when chronic, is on a par with smoking cigarettes, helping people handle them better could potentially have a medical payoff as great as getting heavy smokers to quit. #Quote by Daniel Goleman

#12. Far more potently than any miracle medicine, relatively uncelebrated shifts in civic arrangements--better nutrition, housing, and sanitation, improved sewage systems and ventilation--had driven TB mortality down in Europe and America. Polio and smallpox had also dwindles as a result of vaccinations. Cains wrote, "The death rates from malaria, cholera, typhus, tuberculosis, scurvy, pellagra, and other scourges of the past have dwindled in the US because humankind has learned how to prevent these diseases.... To put most of the effort into treatment is to deny all precedent. #Quote by Siddhartha Mukherjee

#13. In this midst of this catastrophe, more than looking in to find serenity we need to look out for one another to practice humanity. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#14. The world is mine, its problems are mine. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#15. Nature had found the perfect place to hide the yellow fever virus. It seeded itself and grew in the blood, blooming yellow and running red. #Quote by Molly Caldwell Crosby

#16. When we assess someone's life or health on the basis of surface-level observations or passing comments, it presents us with a very flawed version of reality. #Quote by Evita Ochel

#17. You can revive economy, but not a corpse. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#18. When considering grand plans for effective communicable disease control in this time of Ebola peril, malaria continues to kill nearly a million people a year world-wide, and by far the single most reliable protection against malaria is to sleep under a mosquito net, but one of the major impediments to this basic and effective malaria control is that many people, regardless of education level or country of origin, in malaria endemic zones don't install and use one, not that they can't get one, but because they don't think the mosquito net 'looks nice. #Quote by T.K. Naliaka

#19. As a practicing neurologist, I place central importance in applying current science to the notion of disease prevention. #Quote by David Perlmutter

#20. When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it cannot be cured. #Quote by Anton Chekhov

#21. I'm an incurable romantic, and Casablanca's one of the most romantic pictures I've ever seen - the combination of Bogart and Bergman is just magical. #Quote by Ken Adam

#22. First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me. #Quote by Steve Martin

#23. When the last nationwide smallpox epidemic began in 1898, some people believed that whites were not susceptible to the disease. It was called "Nigger itch," or, where it was associated with immigrants, "Italian itch" or "Mexican bump." When #Quote by Eula Biss

#24. I've always been very involved in anything that had to do with lung disease or cancer. #Quote by Loni Anderson

#25. Ignore ignorance? You might as well withhold medicine from a very sick patient. Not only will the patient get worse, the disease will spread. #Quote by Stifyn Emrys

#26. This sense of the brain's remarkable plasticity, its capacity for the most striking adaptations, not least in the special (and often desperate) circumstances of neural or sensory mishap, has come to dominate my own perception of my patients and their lives. So much so, indeed, that I am sometimes moved to wonder whether it may not be necessary to redefine the very concepts of "health" and "disease," to see these in terms of the ability of the organism to create a new organization and order, one that fits its special, altered disposition and needs, rather than in the terms of a rigidly defined "norm. #Quote by Oliver Sacks

#27. Despair filled his skull even more tightly than his own brain. All around him cars filled with normal people perfectly unaware of the disease turning Perry's body inside out. Fucking normal people. #Quote by Scott Sigler

#28. It would have been more to the point, more honest and more Christian, in past decades not to support those who intentionally destroyed healthy life than to rebel against those who have no other wish than to avoid disease. Moreover, a policy of laissez faire in this sphere is not only cruelty to the individual guiltless victims but also to the nation as a whole ... If the Churches were to declare themselves ready to take over the treatment and care of those suffering from hereditary diseases, we should be quite ready to refrain from sterilizing them. #Quote by Adolf Hitler

#29. The truth is like a disease, let's hope it spreads. #Quote by Rachel Vincent

#30. Recession, terrorism, debts, political turmoil, disease, famine, mortality... screw it, I'm putting googly eyes on things. #Quote by Charles R.L. Guthrie

#31. I should like to raise the question whether the inevitable stunting of the sense of smell as a result of man's turning away from the earth, and the organic repression of the smell-pleasure produced by it, does not largely share in his predisposition to nervous diseases. #Quote by Sigmund Freud

#32. The truth is that the fever of desire in youth is fleeting disease that intimacy promptly cure. #Quote by Frank Harris

#33. We labor under the fatal delusion that no disease can be cured without medicine. This has been responsible for more mischief to mankind than any other evil ... Disease increases in proportion to the increase to the number of doctors in a place. #Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

#34. There are very few errors and false doctrines of which the beginning may not be traced up to unsound views about the corruption of human nature. Wrong views of the disease will always bring with them wrong views of the remedy. Wrong views of the corruption of human nature will always carry with them wrong views of the grand antidote and cure of that corruption. #Quote by J.C. Ryle

#35. Gay sex is a veritable breeding ground for disease. #Quote by Rod Parsley

#36. The two women switched to their native tongue. Kate tuned them out. She understood only half of what they were saying. As with most Americans, Dutch sounded to her more like a disease of the throat than an actual language #Quote by Karin Slaughter

#37. Fear of disease killed more men than disease itself. #Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

#38. In fact, we would know ourselves that we are not meant to be meat eaters, and we would not have allowed ourselves to become conditioned to meat eating in the first place, if the effects of meat eating were felt right away. But since heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. usually take many years to develop, we are able to separate them from their cause (or contributing factors) and go on happily eating an animal-based diet. #Quote by Sharon Gannon

#39. We can be clear. We can identify the enemy. We can begin by asking ourselves what it is right rather than what is expedient. Know the difference between fever and the disease. Between racism and greed. We can be clear and we can be careful. Careful to avoid the imprisonment of the mind, the spirit, and the will of ourselves and those among whom we live. We can be careful of tolerating second-rate goals and secondhand ideas. #Quote by Toni Morrison

#40. I know no disease of the soul but ignorance, a pernicious evil, the darkener of man's life, the disturber of his reason, and common confounder of truth. #Quote by Ben Jonson

#41. Cancer is not one disease but many diseases. #Quote by Siddhartha Mukherjee

#42. I'm not afraid anymore. But I know that the terror exists. I know the kind of terror it is. You can't conceive of that kind. Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me - it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice - your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you'd see living eyes watching you and you'd know that the thing can't hear you, that it can't be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it's breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own. That's horror. Well, that's what's hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own. I don't think I'm a coward but I'm afraid of it. And that's all I know - only that it exists. I don't know its purpose. I don't know it's nature. #Quote by Ayn Rand

#43.
If loneliness is the disease, the story is the cure.
#Quote by Richard Ford

#44. Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease. #Quote by Sam Snead

#45. The human race was ill-prepared for such a calamity of events to unfold. #Quote by Asa Don Brown

#46. The world has been changing even faster as people, devices and information are increasingly connected to each other. Computational power is growing and quantum computing is quickly being realised. This will revolutionise artificial intelligence with exponentially faster speeds. It will advance encryption. Quantum computers will change everything, even human biology. There is already one technique to edit DNA precisely, called CRISPR. The basis of this genome-editing technology is a bacterial defence system. It can accurately target and edit stretches of genetic code. The best intention of genetic manipulation is that modifying genes would allow scientists to treat genetic causes of disease by correcting gene mutations. There are, however, less noble possibilities for manipulating DNA. How far we can go with genetic engineering will become an increasingly urgent question. We can't see the possibilities of curing motor neurone diseases - like my ALS - without also glimpsing its dangers.
Intelligence is characterised as the ability to adapt to change. Human intelligence is the result of generations of natural selection of those with the ability to adapt to changed circumstances. We must not fear change. We need to make it work to our advantage.
We all have a role to play in making sure that we, and the next generation, have not just the opportunity but the determination to engage fully with the study of science at an early level, so that we can go on to fulfil our pote #Quote by Stephen Hawking

#47. What we are doing to develop leaders is not working! We are treating the symptoms and ignoring the disease. #Quote by Dave Anderson

#48. Pessimism is mental disease. It means illness in the person who voices it, and in the society which produces that person. #Quote by Upton Sinclair

#49. But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously - after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.) #Quote by Robert A. Heinlein

#50. I accepted the role of spokesman for Lipitor because I am dedicated to the battle against heart disease, which killed my father at age 62 and motivated me to become a medical doctor. #Quote by Robert Jarvik

#51. For David Shenk, the most important of the "windows onto meaning" afforded by Alzheimer's is its slowing down of death. Shenk likens the disease to a prism that refracts death into a spectrum of its otherwise tightly conjoined parts - death of autonomy, death of memory, death of self-consciousness, death of personality, death of body - and he subscribes to the most common trope of Alzheimer's: that its particular sadness and horror stem from the sufferer's loss of his or her "self" long before the body dies. #Quote by Jonathan Franzen

#52. The modern diet is grossly deficient in hundreds of important plant-derived immunity-building compounds which makes us highly vulnerable to viruses, infections and disease. #Quote by Joel Fuhrman
