What do we know about health and healthiness?
What do we know about health and healthiness?
We study illness extensively, but who studies health? If you check your local bookstore or library for ‘health books’, you will find a long shelf of ‘sickness’ books. In the indexes of these books, you might find ‘health care’ (sick care), ‘health insurance’ (sick insurance), and ‘health clinic’ (sick clinic), but seldom will you find actual references to or discussions of ‘health’.
Medicine is blind to health.
The Kindle e-book “Introduction to Healthicine: Theories of Health, Healthiness, Illness and Aging” will be available for free from December 8th to December 12th. If you don’t have access to Kindle, you can purchase the print version here.
Introduction to Healthicine is the second book in the Healthicine series, and contains a summary of the material in the original book: Healthicine: The Arts and Sciences of Health and Healthiness, which is also available in Kindle ebook format, or in print. You can purchase the print version here.
The book Introduction to Healthicine explores the concepts of health, healthiness and healthicine, through the hierarchy of healthicine, and relates those concepts to illness and aging. It is a book that challenges many of our medical paradigms, simply because it pursues healthiness instead of illness.
to your health, tracy
