The orthodox medical world has made historic gains based on eliminating things – whether bacteria, viruses, pests, etc. The forms of elimination include sterilization, pasteurization, radiation, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy, vaccination, Antibiotics , surgery, etc.

That elimination of threat rests on the hygiene principle, that cleanliness and isolation from “threat” are the means to health. On many levels this approach is a military one, a war against something we are taught to fear, as we are encouraged to fear “terrorists.” Methods and language often overlap – fighting cancer, bombarding it with radiation, wiping out infection with Antibiotics , surgical strikes, cleansing an area of enemy, etc. Multinational industries have grown up around each form of killing, from weapons dealers to the pharmaceutical and radiation/nuclear industry which have immense vested interest in killing things as the means to solve problems. And the more the “things” to be fought can be defined as urgent threats or the more kinds of “things” that can be defined as new threats, the more each industry grows. More enemies and more diagnoses based on more fear mean more sales.

I especially liked this quote... ”If we throw Mother Nature out the window, she comes back in the door with a pitchfork.”
