I'm striving for health while preparing for disease. Is that hypocritical of me? Should I just assume that as long as I don't want a disease I won't get one? Perhaps we should get rid of all the doctors, pharmacists, medicines and herbal remedies, and then nobody will ever get sick. After all, isn't medicine just a war on germs? Perhaps we should learn to live with germs, reason with them, be their friends.

Sure. Yeah. That's the ticket. Be nice to the germs and then they won't hurt us.
