I am as far from a hypochondriac as you could ever be.

The best cure for hypochondria is to forget about your body and get interested in someone else's.

A naturopath once told me you should never take antibiotics except if you have pneumonia, a kidney infection or some other serious illness. That's my philosophy, too.

I'm a complete hypochondriac. If my heart starts beating a little faster than normal, I think I'm having an attack.

The good thing about having this illness is that it allows me to be a little bit crazy.

Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.

I've experienced wrong diagnoses and been given antibiotics for things that could be cured naturally. We may not think much of it, but it destroys our immunity.

Before getting meningitis, I was such a hypochondriac, worrying about the slightest ache. Ironically, I overlooked meningitis because the symptoms seemed like flu. I guess you don't realise how healthy you are until it is taken away from you.

There is something so biologically implausible that your attitude is going to cure a disease. There's a tremendous arrogance to imagine that your mind is all that powerful.

The Internet is a boon for hypochondriacs like me.
