Hippocrates was a Greek physician who made such an impression on medical history that today he is called the father of modern medicine - some graduating medical students take the “Hippocratic Oath’ upon receiving their doctoral degree.

It’s a shame that many doctors prescribe medication without considering the benefits of a healthy diet.
