Your problem is you can't see the forest for the trees. You separate
everything and call everything tangential.
Health is a vague term and so is medicine.
The life force is within each one of us with placebos and chi and anything

healthy environment.
Continue to separate and dissect everything and the parts do not equal the
whole.
