Conclusion

We must remember that hygiene and a nutritious diet and a good quality of life contribute greatly to freedom from disease or indeed the ability to deal with it. The body is a perfect and comlpete organism running to its own schedule of growth maintenance and decay. The workings of the body are not fully known to us and yet we do know them in part via diferent systems of thought: western medicine with its surgery, vaccinations etc. views the body as a mechanical organ which it is... eastern medicine sees a body of energy and the organs also as energy... there are many other traditions of medicine in the human world... homeopathy is a theory which runs happily alongside eastern tradition yet has developed with western people: the idea that the body can be returned or maintained in equillibrium by use of diluted medicines so weak they are working on an energy level... many tribes all over the planet have healing methods and powers that work on an energy level as well as a physical one and they have sustained their populations for generations... nature has many ways of both destroying and preserving life that during our own lifetime we may wonder and learn about... yet none of us truly know enough to start tampering so readily with this perfect form... when a person is sick each tradition of healing would have their own method of intervention or indeed co-operation with the illness... and yet western medecine seems to be the only one that will literally assault a well body in infancy with the invasion of a disease (however weak) directly into the blood stream...allowing this perfect living newborn body no time to prepare as it normally would for the defence of itself against this disease... it is no wonder that children die or are brain damaged or have other lesser side effects... it is a wonder that so many survive....
