Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Edward Dodge
Most people have much more personal health power than they realize or use. My purpose is to awaken people to their own health power and to stop ceding that power unnecessarily to health professionals. It is important to consult health professionals when clearly indicated, but not as a substitute for creating one's own health.
