As stated in one of Laurel’s favorite ancient Chinese medicine texts written over 4,000 years ago: “The sages of antiquity did not treat those who were already sick but those who were not sick. When a disease has already broken out and is only then treated, would that not be just as late as waiting for thirst before digging a well, or waiting to go into battle before casting weapons?”
