The earth too is being over-drugged.
In India this is particularly sad since we still have large pools of
native wisdom that tell us how to live in creative equilibrium with the
environment.
Our health policies are fuelling the devastation of the earth and
people alike.
I have documented this in my book, Health Care, Earth Care,
published by Earthcare Books, Mumbai and Kolkatta.
The two major sections are Drugging the Body and Drugging the Earth.
My submission is that we err seriously when we fail to consider
ourselves as an extension of the environment we occupy. This alienation is
the basis of our Conquer-the Earth, Conquer-Disease outlook.
