Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.
I do think that if I had to choose one word to which hope can be tied it is hospitality. A practice of hospitality– recovering threshold, table, patience, listening, and from there generating seedbeds for virtue and friendship on the one hand – on the other hand radiating out for possible community, for rebirth of community.
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
