  • All the foods are powerful and nourishing—animal foods, vegetable foods, dairy food. They've just been compromised. Unfortunately, the industry for over a hundred years now has been dumping poison on the fields that have really screwed up the food system, which is a big contributor to disease patterns. - Dr. Ed Bauman
  • I'm usually not playing on the fear theme, but playing on the we-can-do-it theme. We are part of a community. We are part of nature. We are part of our surroundings. - Dr. Ed Bauman
  • The most important thing is to build strength and to build hardiness and to eat strengthening foods. - Dr. Ed Bauman
