Aphorism #138 The Art of letting Things alone.

The more so the wilder the waves of public or of private life. There are hurricanes in human affairs, tempests of passion, when it is wise to retire to a harbour and ride at anchor. Remedies often make diseases worse: in such cases one has to leave them to their natural course and the moral suasion of time. It takes a wise doctor to know when not to prescribe, and at times the greater skill consists in not applying remedies. The proper way to still the storms of the vulgar is to hold your hand and let them calm down of themselves. Togive way now is to conquer by and by. A fountain gets muddy with but little stirring up, and does not get clear by our meddling with it but by our leaving it alone. The best remedy for disturbances is to let them run their course, for so they quiet down.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=ovuvXgJ7Nak:9i4rCAfxYIE:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=ovuvXgJ7Nak:9i4rCAfxYIE:qj6ID K7rITs)

Having solved most of my problems, including mental ones, with good diet, do I know about this? Do I know about the hospitals prescribing long-term drugs that do more damage than good? Do I know about excessive standard procedures that are straightjackets for everyone at the slightest untested symptom? Do I know for a fact that at least 80% of all surgery is unnecessary. Do I know about the destruction of internal organs with radiation and chemo. Enough!!
What about drugs and psychiatry?
