When discussing about health and disease
we are forced to consider them as opposite phenomena, separated
and distinguished. But in reality this distinction is a consequence
of a historical process and not of a biological phenomenon.
The separation between health and disease transforms natural truth into something socially simpler, more acceptable and adapted to the requirements of complex social organisations. In reality what exists is life in different shapes and death, the same for all.
This division between health and disease enforced by medical
science reflects the shift of interest from the entirety individual-society-environment
to the singularity body-disease reflecting the renunciation
to protect life in favour of the battle against disease.
