SALUTOGENESIS I: A Unified Theory on Medicine, Health and Healing

Abstract

The construct of Salutogenesis is proposed as a unifYing theory for medicine, health and healing. It is posited as a spectrum from the most subtle nuances of healrh to rhe most adverse medical issues where aU interventions at our disposal would fir within this model. The primordial aether is assumed to be the underpinning function and the model relies on and maximizes the placebo effect for efficacy. A common nomenclature is introduced, through which health status can be measured and changes resulting from interventions be also evaluated regardless of the mode of intervention. It is a non-linear system blind to the traditional divisions made in health and medical disciplines.
