1. Introduction
We are living in an era in which our highly technological society has ever greater difficulties in coping with new unforeseen tasks such as epidemics or the like. The reason lies in the"soulless" belief in technology, which has greatly displaced ethical values. This thinking has a particularly strong impact on science, where corruption is no longer a foreign word. Freely according to the motto"Whose bread I eat, whose song I sing".
Everything seemed feasible. Yields in agriculture were increased without regard for the side effects that this entailed. But it is these"side effects" that we are now painfully experiencing (for example, the carcinogen glyphosate), because the producers of food havenot acted inconformity with life.
We are experiencing something similar in medicine. Many of the problems are home-made. Symptoms are suppressed instead of treating causes. The resulting iatrogenic damage is extreme. This has also been shown with Corona. Many of the patients died from the treatment, not from Covid 19! If the curative fever is suppressed as the first measure, cortisone, HIV and malaria drugs are used in addition to antibiotics (for a viral disease!), but nothing is done to strengthen the immune system, one is no longer surprised at the death rates. Quite a few of them are also victims of the far too often used pressure respiration (in an artificial coma). This mainly affected the elderly, whose lungs were ruptured under the excess pressure.
Only a rogue would think evil of this when he looks at the costs. An occupied intensive care bed costs 5,000 euros/day. A ventilated patient, however, costs 35,000 euros...
I will come back to the harmful use of oxygen in a later chapter.
It is not only because of Corona that we have been facing the problem of an irreversible increase in the number of chronically ill people for many years, whose treatment is tearing large holes in the health insurance system.
Everyone has the feeling that something has to change. But what?
In medicine, we should go to the roots of our being, to what really constitutes LIFE. To our great astonishment, we then have to realise that our natural science is still unable to explain this phenomenon. Nor will it be able to do so in the future, because it follows Galileo's principle and only accepts what can be measured and weighed. LIFE, however, is not tangible. There are various expressions of it that we can describe. But explain?
If we really want to establish a new way of thinking in medicine, we will have to look very closely at the foundations of our being.
In the past, there has been no lack of attempts to change medicine. There have been many useful approaches. However, they could not gain widespread acceptance because they did not touch the basis of human existence.
We cannot create something new without completely questioning the old if it is based on false premises.
Therefore, a coherent concept based on the scientific foundations of the origin of life is necessary.
What, then, would constitute a significant advance for medicine? This question can only be answered by someone who has both feet on the ground and is confronted daily with the problem of having to assign the manifold symptoms of a patient to only one (!) diagnosis. In the case of so-called multimorbid patients, the way out is usually sought by writing down several diagnoses.
If we consider the human being as a unit, there can only be one disease, even if it has different faces.
We have to assume that everything in the organism is interconnected in a network, which is why the different symptoms are also causally connected. A patient only gets a certain disease because a previous damage has already occurred in another place or on another level, e.g. the psyche.
So what is absolutely necessary for a renewal of medicine?
We need a uniform classification system that covers all functional levels of the human being and at the same time reflects
