Occult Science in Medicine: (A Timeless classic)

Occult Science in Medicine: (A Timeless classic)

A great deal has been written in modern books on pathology about the difficulty of defining the word â€œdisease.â€ The dictionary calls it â€œlack or absence of ease, pain, uneasiness, distress, trial, trouble,â€ &c., but against either of these definitions objections may he raised. James Paget says: â€œEase and disease, well and ill, and all their synonyms are relative terms, of which none can be fixed unconditionally. If there could be fixed a standard of health, all deviations from it might be called diseases; but a chief characteristic of living bodies is not fixity, but variation by self-adjustment to a wide range of varying circumstances, and among such self-adjustments it is not practicable to make a line separating those which may reasonably be called healthy from those which may as reasonably be called disease.â€ To this occult science answers that such a standard of health exists for us as soon as we recognise the unity and supremacy of the law; that the results of obedience to the law are harmony and health, and the results of disobedience are called discords or disease.â€
