Yes, Steven. Yours is a valuable concept, to look at the whole person. The medical concept of disease is highly overrated and in its present state has become very bureaucratic, leading to Standards of Care - for the disease, not the patient, with no attempt to address causes, to cure. The theory of cure takes the opposite direction from disease - try and find the elements that are curable, that can truly improve the health of the patient. I would of course, add "community" to full health. tracy
