Sickness, and health

Nevertheless, these things said, there are examples here and there of cures, or at least remissions. Thus, there is Elaine Nussbaum s Recovery from Cancer A Personal Story of Sickness and Health, published in 1997. And there is the organization called Institute for Noetic Sciences in Sausalito, California, that keeps track of such cases ( noetic, pertaining to the mind). It would be extremely informative to determine if there is any sort of a common thread that links these recoveries.

This was not an isolated psychiatric interpretation of the popular mood—a poetic metaphor in medical idiom—that Rush allowed himself. On the contrary, it was a fixed point of view, truly a pair of ideological glasses, through which Rush gazed at the world. His eyes thus beheld the world in terms of sickness and health. He categorized opposition to the Revolution as illness support of it, as therapy. Americans loyal to the British Crown tended to suffer from a disease which Rush christened revolutiona. . . . [Whereas] women who favored the Revolutionary cause were cured of hysteria. ...

In the Medicina Catholica (1629—31) Fludd explained that the way to conserve or restore health was through a righteous, prayerful life. The highest level of spiritual health was attainable through penitence and humility, virtues that were sacramental and granted supercelestial health. The apostles had cured the sick and had even raised the dead in the Name of Christ because the Name contained in itself all other kabbalistic names of God Ehieh, lah, Elohim, El, Sadai, Adonai. Jesus is a personal name, but Christ is invoked...

Voluntary insurance would be the market solution to uncertainty for risk-averse individuals. In this context, the user chooses the optimum co-insurance rate. Theory offers some analytical results on optimal health insurance contract designs.1 The consumer decides the extent of the coverage and the optimum co-insurance rate, and ultimately the price to be paid for the premium. In competitive markets, with actuarially fair premiums, the optimum co-insurance rate varies between individuals and depends on the risk of falling sick and the price elasticity of demand.

In some circumstances such as may be encountered after a terrorist attack, acute doses may be more important than potential chronic effects. More specifically, high doses of radiation may be immediately dangerous to life and health and could lead to severe injury including sickness, irreparable tissue damage, and death, although the more severe effects would likely only be observed after a nuclear explosion. For the purpose of this discussion, acute exposures are defined as those that occur in a relatively short time (over several days or less) and result in a dose of at least 25-35 rad (0.25-0.35 Gy).6-7... 

Health, is course, is more than just the absence of sickness, and there are many aspects of health in the workplace—social, psychological, and physiological—that we are not concerned with here. What we are concerned with are the problems that derive from exposure, potential and actual, to toxic materials placed wittingly or unwittingly in the working environment. But let s go back a little to see how management of health in the workplace began.

The inadequacy or nonexistence of health tools to combat tropical diseases is a key factor preventing effective control efforts. This was not always the case. During the first part of the twentieth century, tropical diseases were a concern of European colonial administrators because of their impact on territorial expansion diseases such as river blindness, sleeping sickness, and malaria incapacitated workers and limited exploitation of natural resources. This led to the establishment of the study of tropical medicine and the development of the European drug industry. But, as western interests withdrew, so did concern for tropical disease control (Janssens, Kivits, and Vuylsteke 1992).
