“Illness is just the absence of health.”.<\/p>\n

Nope. It\u2019s a common mistake, often repeated without much thought.<\/p>\n

Is a donut the \u2018absence of a hole\u2019? Nope. A hole is the absence of a donut, but a donut is not the absence of a hole.<\/p>\n

Is light the \u2018absence of darkness? Nope. Darkness is the absence of light, but light is not the absence of darkness.<\/p>\n

“Health is whole. Health is wide and deep. Health is honest and true.<\/em><\/a>” – The Healthicine Creed.<\/p>\n
