Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 102 – Theory of Man precedes Theory of Health

“The Medical Science fails to define the term ‘health’ for it fails to define the term ‘man’. To attach meaning to health, I must attach meaning to the word called ‘man’.”

“Man represents a biological or biotic community of trillions of individuals; independent, living cells with individuality. Man is also a natural host to trillions of microbes. Human life must be defined in terms of biotic interactions; both intraspecific, and interspecific biotic interactions.”

“I ask the Medical Science to apply the principles of Clinical Medicine not only to diagnose ill health but also to diagnose good and perfect or ‘Whole Health’ for Man is created by entity called God who is always Perfect and Whole.”

“None of the living functions performed by Man involve the use of any known human language.”

“What is Spiritual Sickness? Lust, Avarice, Anger, Arrogance, Jealousy, Infatuation, and Miserliness are symptoms of Spiritual Sickness. Spiritual well-being is an integral component of Whole Health.”

“The scaling of health fundamentally relates to the experience of satiation, satisfaction, or contentment from one’s own living condition. Dissatisfaction or a lack of contentment is absence of health.”

“Burden of Disease, and Rewards of Health must be estimated after stating the purpose of human existence.”

“Every change or natural phenomenon such as aging is operated by an underlying ‘Unchanging Principle’. For example, Chemical Compounds are operated by ‘Law of Definite Proportions’ or Proust’s Law of Definite Composition. The man experiences aging changes while Chemical Elements and Chemical Compounds of his body remain unchanged.”

“Man’s experience of time and its consequence called aging is operated by sensory experiences that are fundamentally false. Man’s existence demands the influence of a Great Grand Illusion that protects man from experiencing the speed of planet Earth.”

“John Milton in his epic poem of Paradise Lost, Book XI shares the golden principles of healthy aging. Nothing too much, the Law of Temperance helps man to live to his fullest potential.”

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 98 – Time’s Power of Healing – A Divine Gift

Indians seek the quality of Kshama, patience, tolerance, and forbearance to deal with the consequences of physical and psychological wounds. They believe in the concept of Time as a Healer of all Wounds.The healing process and repair mechanisms operate beyond man’s volitional control and so could be described as a Divine Gift, a gift which humans have no ability to invent on their own.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 97 – The Rule of Temperance promotes Mental Health

I ask my readers to add the knowledge of Temperance to promote their Physical and Mental Health. The essence of Temperance is choosing moderation and deliberately avoid excess. In Indian Culture and Tradition, living in moderation and living in virtue are almost identical. Socrates suggests that one should “choose that which is orderly and sufficient and has a due provision for daily needs.” He compares the intemperate man “to a vessel full of holes because it can never be satisfied.” Socrates describes the temperate man as able to satisfy his limited desires, whereas the intemperate man of boundless desire, can never pause in his search of pleasure. According to Freud, when “the ego learns that it must inevitably go without immediate satisfaction, postpone gratification, learn to endure a degree of pain, and altogether renounce certain sources of pleasure”, it “becomes ‘reasonable’, is no longer controlled by the pleasure-principle, but follows the reality-principle”, which seeks, “a delayed and diminished pleasure, one which is assured by its realization of fact, its relation to reality.”

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 72 – Pain and Compassion

Service with Kindness and Compassion would help man to overcome the problem of pain and the consequences of such experience. We should aim to transform people using the Force of Compassion.
People have various degrees of pain tolerance. I have practically experienced that by providing care, and comfort, by treating people with kindness and compassion, I can increase their physical capacity to tolerate pain. The beneficiary, and the benefactor who serves with compassion, both equally experience a sense of Joy and tend to become Pain Tolerant and Pain Resistant. Compassion has a quality and it gives the man a capacity to tolerate and resist a far greater amount of physical, mental, and emotional pain as compared to an individual who has not experienced the force of compassion.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 71 – The Whole Experience called Life

When the natural healing process is considered as a divine gift, all medical interventions begin with a prayerful thought to invoke the blessings of healing.  
Since the human body is constituted by building blocks called Cells, the understanding of Life demands the use of microscope. Philosophy of Medicine while exploring the nature of human existence provides the understanding of the vital connections that establish, maintain, and sustain human existence. Such understanding provides a sensory experience called ‘Madhurya’, a sensation of Sweetness which enables man to function better and overcome obstacles.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 53-Spiritualism vs Behaviorism

I define the term ‘Spiritualism’ as the  nature of a relationship, a partnership, an association, or bonding between two individual living entities based upon characteristics such as compassion, sympathy, understanding, cooperation, mutual assistance, mutual tolerance, voluntary subservience to provide some benefit to the member participating in the biotic interaction. Spiritualism is innate and is not acquired by learning experience. The man depends upon the protoplasmic substance for his very existence as a human being and to perform the characteristic living functions. The human form becomes the actuality that it represents by the Nature of its spiritual association with the protoplasmic living matter. Man is a spiritual being because of the spiritual nature of his living substance called protoplasm.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 47 – Man is Born Free or Not?”

Nobel Laureate Jean Paul Sartre believes that “Man is condemned to be free.” Is that so???
Man describes as to who he is, his nature, and his essence, with the help of his thoughts, his intellect, his knowledge, his feelings, his sense of self-pride or self-ego, and his social status and social position. However, this essence is not the basis for man’s existence in nature. Man can not sustain his biological existence because of his essence. Man is not an independent entity. Man leads a dependent existence. The reality of man’s existence is a conditioned experience. Without this reality of conditioned state of existence, man can not describe his essence. Existence precedes essence. Existence is the prerequisite for essence to manifest. The essence is manifested by the being, the material body with mind, thoughts, intellect, knowledge, feelings, and self-pride or self-ego. This material being need to exist, and the state or condition of this physical existence is biologically manifested as alertness, wakefulness, awareness, and consciousness. Consciousness or Nothingness is the prerequisite for essence, and for the physical existence of the material Being. When consciousness departs, the essence also gets dissolved. If man enjoys a sense of freedom and expresses it as his essence, this freedom is subject to the reality of conditioned subjective existence. Man, and his essence is displayed if it is accompanied by Nothingness, the biological function called the Capacity for Consciousness. The contents of consciousness describe the nature of man’s essence. The contents of consciousness are known only when man has the capacity for consciousness. The anatomical structure that performs the function to provide the ability or the capacity for consciousness is in the Reticular Formation of the Brain Stem. Man is aware of his essence when the functions of his Brain Stem exist. Brain Stem functions in an autonomous manner and man is not truly free to govern the functions of his Brain Stem which is the prerequisite for his physical and mental being to maintain its living functions, the state and the condition called Living.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 44 -Psychoanalysis fails to verify the concept of human soul

I explain ‘Spiritualism’ as the potency that is observed by the presence of consciousness in any given living organism or living cell. It is the chief biological characteristic of living matter. Spiritualism is the power that causes consciousness and awareness that is exhibited in the biological properties of living matter; biological properties such as Motion, Nutrition, and Reproduction by Cell Division. Spiritualism is the biological basis for human existence and it explains human nature which is expressed as an internal, mutually beneficial partnership, relationship, association, connection, and bonding between the cells, the tissues, and the organ systems of the human organism and the Whole Organism that represents the Human Person in the world he lives. Clinical Medicine provides the opportunities to promote the well-being of all people as it includes the principle of verification of the objective, biological basis of human existence.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 25 – Biotic Interactions – Parasitism vs Spiritual Interactions

The term ‘Spiritual’ describes the nature of relationship, partnership, association, bonding, connection, or Biotic Interaction between two living entities based on characteristics such as compassion, kindness, sympathy, cooperation, voluntary assistance, mutual tolerance, voluntary subservience, functional subordination, or ‘altruism’ to provide some benefit to another member participating in the Biotic Interaction. For example, if man is viewed as a biological community of trillions of individual, independent, living cells, the person recognized as man exists because of ‘spiritual’ nature of interactions between Red Blood Cells and all other cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of his human body.

Michigan Medicine Health Care Policy is Deficient for it has no Knowledge of Comprehensive Health Care

In a written statement, Michigan Medicine claims, “it was reasonable to proceed with treatment (Steroid therapy + Chemo Infusion therapy) based on the assessment completed during the April 7 visit. At that time her Vital Signs were Stable.” Michigan Medicine fails to disclose the Diagnostic Code that describes the Clinical Assessment made on April 07, 2026. The issue is not about stable vital signs; the issue is about the Diagnosis of the Symptoms presented for Clinical Assessment. The Treatment given by Michigan Medicine worked like a Magic. In a few days time, the patient was rushed to the Hospital. We have a duty to report deficiencies of the health delivery system which directly relate to the health policy and not of shortcomings of individuals or errors in performance. It is not because of the negative outcome. It is about informing the patient of the risks involved in the treatment plan.
