I believe in implementing the World Health Organization's definition of health as stated in their Constitution, with changes in italics:
-
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (Currently not our marketed definition of health. Everything is about disease and treating symptoms.)
-
The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition. (Currently not being implemented.)



-
The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States. (Currently not being implemented with their definition of health.)
-
The achievement of any State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all. (Currently not being implemented with their definition of health.)
-
Unequal development in different countries in the promotion of health and control of diseases, especially communicable disease, is a common danger. ( I would add that countries who do not help their people thrive contribute to this danger. Many communicable diseases can be lessened with clean air, water and food. Proper living environments that promote clean living are imperative.)
-
Healthy development of the child is of basic importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a changing total environment is essential to such development. (Currently not being implemented.)
-
The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health. (I would redefine this to include their statement of health above. Health is not purely based on medical, psychological and/or what is known/mainstream.)
-
Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people. (Currently not being implemented. There are many medical mandates being pushed currently which do not include all people nor informed consent.)
-
Governments have a responsibility for the health of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by the provision of adequate health and social measures. (I believe governments have a responsibility to help people thrive by the provision of health and social measures that reflect the definition of health stated above.)
