“Disease Starts in the Mind – and Beyond It”

Disease starts in the mind, Paracelsus proclaimed.
But so very few physical treaters even consider this fact – let alone attempt to alleviate.
A healer does. But he must also go further than the sufferer’s mind: disease arises in the family setting. And this too must always be considered, as the individual’s disease is a symptom of the family’s dis-ease.
And then the healer must go even further: for the family setting is within society’s.
Disease starts in the mind – of society.
