it can be seen as simple as what it says literally/ let medicine be your food
and not pharmaceuticals!

Hello Rhonda and all,
I am glad that you brought this quote up, as it has been on my mind for some
time now. I may be somehow obtuse but I fail to understand it entirely. I have
been asking people around me and nobody was able to enlighten me. The "Let food
be thy medicine" is obviously right. Here is my question: what does the second
part mean? How do you explain the "let medicine be thy food"? What is the
meaning of that? Judging by analogy with the first part of the statement what I
understand is : eat medicine as if it were food. I am sure this is not what
Hippocrates meant. But what did he mean? Anyone else is welcome to comment.
Lucia
