WHO`s < HEALTH > Definition-WRONG !!! since 1948 !!!

The world’s foremost authority on Health – WHO - World Health Organization –has not defined Health correctly!

See below its definition:
WHO defines Health thus:
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
http://www.who.int/about/definition/en/print.html

The correct bibliographic citation for the definition is:
Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.

The Definition has not been amended since 1948.

I continue:

`Mental` (in the above WHO Health definition) denotes the Mind. Presently, the Scientific Western Diaspora is still debating as to what the Mind is; and where is it located. I have quizzed doctors from my medical college days (mainly Neurologist, Psychologist, and Psychiatrist) on what the Mind is & where it is located.NO-ONE knows.

Prima facie, when the Mind is not defined, how can the definition of Health hold water?
Why am I insisting on this? Because Humanity lives on false premises; not enquiring enough. Human does not know who/what (s)he is. Conjectures are a million - Scientific and philosophical treatises and religious beliefs, notwithstanding! But, even Nobel laureates do not know what they are made up of- the Mind I mean.

Unless Health (the denominator) is known in toto -Disease or Wellness (the Numerator)- cannot be defined.

Global Research needs to be done on re-defining Health, with respect to the Mind – which remains a black-hole in Science.

Unless the fabric (definition of Health) is right, the painting (definition of Disease & Wellness) will be skewed!

All our efforts will be in vain, because we do not know the MIND? Till Copernicus/Galileo, Human race took for granted, from the beginning of Human Intelligence, that the Sun moves around the Earth. Till Einstein, Space & Time were separate .Now, we know things differently.


My suggestion:

We need to re- define Health, especially with respect to the Mind. The word `Health` & `Mind` is missing( in its correct content) from the Health Dictionary.

Wellness & Health is the Future and we need to set the table right.
With the paradigm shift from Chronic Conditions to Population Health happening, we need to look at the Human being wholly and not piecemeal through sub-divisions of organs and diseases alone!
