They use the tissues of the body for food, and release their own metabolic "wastes" and "attack poisons" into the body. We say the diseases are "infectious" if one person who carries the disease can easily pass the disease agents on to another person who does not yet carry the disease. We are accustomed to think of disease agents as objective microscopic organisms which can be examined under a microscope and identified by medical experts by virtue of the characteristic microscopic appearances, forms, and metabolic processes. Not all diseases, sicknesses and illnesses are occasioned primarily by objective microscopic organisms. Our understanding of many diseases, illnesses, and sicknesses are bound to be tragically misguided if we think of diseases exclusively in terms of objective micro- agents which can physically enter into human bodies and cause disintegration in objectively verifiable ways which can be analyzed---using traditional medical tools of objective analysis. Many dis-eases originate in social, cultural, family, organizational, religious and work-place conditions which threaten people and so make people ill-at-ease, insecure and defensive. Such diseases originate in unhealthy human relationships, not in objective micro-organisms. To look for the causes of such reflexive human dis-eases primarily in micro-organisms is be tragically misguided by a medical paradigm of too narrow a vision which is dominated by compulsive objectivity.
