Gesundheit ist kein definierbarer Zustand, sondern ein fließender Prozess, der von einem Kohärenzgefühl begleitet wird und die Gesundheitspotenziale von Ereignissen [Stressoren] nutzvoll umwandelt.
In den 70er Jahren prägte der Medizinsoziologe Aaron Antonovsky (1923–1994) den Ausdruck Salutogenese, die Entstehung (Genese) von Gesundheit. Es handelt sich um den Gegenbegriff zu Parthogenese (Entstehung von Krankheiten).

Zitate allgemein

Für keinen ist es zu früh oder zu spät, für die Gesundheit der Seele zu sorgen. Epikur

Gesundheit ist nicht alles, aber ohne Gesundheit ist alles nichts. Arthur Schopenhauer

Das höchste Ideal der Heilung ist schnelle, sanfte und dauerhafte Wiederherstellung der Gesundheit. Samuel Hahnemann

In der einen Hälfte des Lebens opfern wir unsere Gesundheit, um Geld zu erwerben. In der anderen Hälfte opfern wir Geld, um die Gesundheit wiederzuerlangen. Voltaire

Gesundheit bekommt man nicht im Handel, sondern durch den Lebenswandel. Pfarrer Sebastian Kneipp

Sei vorsichtig mit Gesundheitsbüchern. Du könntest wegen eines Druckfehlers sterben. Mark Twain

Das Kohärenzgefühl ist eine globale Orientierung, die ausdrückt, in welchem Ausmaß eine Person ein durchdringendes, dynamisches Gefühl des Vertrauens darauf hat, dass
die Stimuli, die sich im Verlauf des Lebens aus der inneren und äußeren Umgebung ergeben, strukturiert, vorhersehbar und erklärbar sind;
die Ressourcen zur Verfügung stehen, um den Anforderungen zu begegnen, die diese Stimuli stellen;
diese Anforderungen Herausforderungen sind, die Anstrengung und Engagement lohnen. Aaron Antonovsky, Professor der Soziologie, Vater der Salutogenese, Salutogenese. Zur Entmystifizierung der Gesundheit, S. 36, 1997

Während seiner Zeit am Applied Social Research Institute beschäftigte sich Aaron Antonovsky, mit Studien von Frauen, die in Mitteleuropa zwischen 1914 und 1923 geboren wurden. Einige von ihnen waren Überlebende aus Konzentrationslagern. Dabei fiel ihm auf, dass 29 % der ehemals internierten Frauen sich trotz der extremen Stressoren, denen sie während ihres Lebens ausgesetzt waren, in einem guten mentalen Zustand sahen. Wikipedia Aaron Antonovsky

Aaron Antonovsky wertete 1970 eine Erhebung über die Anpassungsfähigkeit von Frauen verschiedener ethnischer Gruppen an die Menopause aus. Eine Gruppe war 1939 zwischen 16 und 25 Jahre alt gewesen und hatte sich zu dieser Zeit in einem nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslager befunden. Ihr psychischer und körperlicher Gesundheitszustand wurde mit der einer Kontrollgruppe verglichen. Der Anteil der in ihrer Gesundheit nicht beeinträchtigten Frauen betrug in der Kontrollgruppe 51 %, im Vergleich zu 29 % der KZ-Überlebenden. Nicht der Unterschied an sich, sondern die Tatsache, dass in der Gruppe der KZ-Überlebenden 29 % der Frauen trotz der unvorstellbaren Qualen eines Lagerlebens mit anschließendem Flüchtlingsdasein als (körperlich und psychisch) ‚gesund’ beurteilt wurden, war für ihn ein unerwartetes Ergebnis.

Zitate (engl.) allgemein

We become healthy, as well as wealthy, by being wise. But what is wisdom? According to our research it's the result of aligning with high-power attractor patterns – although we tend to find a mixture of energy fields in the average life, the pattern with the highest power dominates. Dr. David Hawkins, Power vs. Force, chapter 17, S. ?

Life is sustained by the Source of life itself which is ever present. The reason we take vitamins is because the quality and principle of the Self enhance the attraction of that which is life enhancing for so long as it is appropriate. When the prescribed duration of life ends then the Self sustains the existence of Spirit life instead of body life. Dr. David Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, The Emotions, S. 201

Clinically, [humor] is associated with improved health and even longevity. […]
The effect of humor is therapeutic, and it also increases human bonding and compassion via mutual recognition. Humor reduces inner pain, shame, and guilt, thereby revealing more benign options. […]
It serves as the example of therapeutic/spiritual techniques that lead to inner freedom, honesty, and liberation. It is an antidote to shame, fear, and guilt. It subtly reveals the capacity of inner strength that allows the recognition of one’s innate, nascent bigness. Dr. David Hawkins, Transcending Levels of Consciousness, S. 362-363

We really have no concept of what is 'normal' for the body. Therefore, it might behoove us all to change our view of health to include much broader terms. Rosalyn L. Bruyere, The Healing Light Center Church, Sierra Madre, CA, USA

Patch Adam's intimate communal eco village health care hospital

University of human culture

Health and health care are a human right for all people. Minute 00:29
I entered medical school in 1967 to use it as a vehicle for social change. I was a whole systems thinker. What I wanted to do was to create a hospital that addressed every single problem of health care delivery in one model. Minute 00:35
We found that most people were lonely. The normal Americans that we saw didn't like themselves, didn't like their marriage, and didn't like their job. Minute 5:35
Nowhere are hospitals happy in the world. Medical students are hugely dissatified. […] All over the world physicians are rude. There is a hierarchy. All over the world there is a deep sadness that you don't have enough time for patients. […] At our hospital the cleaning person and the surgeon make the same salary: 300 $ a month. 1000s of doctors and nurses apply every year to work for 300 $ a month. Minute 6:42
We found out that no medical school in the world teaches compassion as an embedded course. minute 8:40
We also found ways to make (our hospital project) so much cheaper through an economic system that is based on friendship and shared skills. Minute 10:06

Health is not an individual dynamic, but very much a product of the social and economic environment. Medicine thinks illness is an individual problem with individual solutions. It's organized insanity for the medical profession to ignore those links. The biggest predictor of health or lack thereof is actually social status. The socioeconomic system doesn't support a healthy childhood and we try to medicate kids' brains. It's not just money; it's the degree of control over our lives. Gabor Maté, M.D.drgabormate.com (*1944) Hungarian-Canadian addiction expert, talk at St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church, Vancouver, 27. November 2011; cited in: Gabor Maté: 'Organized insanity' for doctors to ignore health, poverty link. Can social inequity cause sickness? Vancouver's Dr. Gabor Maté thinks so., vancouverobserver.com, 29. November 2011
