"The universal belief in dualism has evolved a chaotic medical state that is well named a "fool's paradise" instead of medical science. Our very thinking on the subjects of health and disease is dualistic. ----- Disease is an "attack" from without. Treatment is to go after the attacking force with shot and shell - a practice that all too often cripples or kills the patient."
[I do not agree with the vegetarian point of view and recommendation of the above article's author. Unfortunately no one seems to have accurate knowledge of more than one aspect of health (and sometimes not even that.) I think the info on the cleansing process initiated by microbes is useful.]
