I think we would have an epidemic of health. I think the stock market would tremble. The drug industry is a half trillion dollar a year, worldwide conglomerate; almost three hundred billion dollars just in North America. This is really really big business. What would happen if everybody were well?

There’s no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense, but it doesn’t make a lot of dollars.
