Wellness - what is it?

In the Western world, due to our medical philosophy, there is a disease industry,based on the manufacture and supply of pharmaceuticals and health care.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Wellness industry. The primary focus of this is the prevention of acute and chronic health disorders.

The disease industry looks for signs of dysfunction and illness.

On the other hand, the Wellness industry is primarily concerned with education about how to stay healthy.
