Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world.

Pauling thought that there was "inertia" in psychiatry that resisted scientific progress". I might call it "greed" rather than "inertia".

The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive.

"The catabolism of tryptophan is stimulated under the influence of stress, hormones and inflammation by the induction of the enzymes tryptophan pyrrolase (in the liver) and IDO (ubiquitous)." Russo et al

Einstein has made some interesting quotes, but they weren't about medicine. Nevertheless there is an Einstein College of Medicine in NYC.
