Here we'll talk about the social-anarchist theories on medicine. Like Malatesta would have suggested, the question must be viewed with an investigative and critical spirit, it is not about simply presenting what is under a "coat of revolt".[1] The process to an "anarchist social medicine" shouldn't either be made up of a search for perfect health, one wants rather to release our lives, dispelling the state institutions and their mythical certainties.

Hygiene[edit]

While speaking about health, a really important element (for autonomy and life quality) shoudn't be forgot: hygiene, that plays a primary role in the health of the community. First, the concept of Hygiene gathers all the behaviours contributing to maintain an individual in good health. Industries of "hygiene" products profit a lot from the false beliefs about good health. From an hygienist view, "good health" is rather a whole of healthy behaviours and the safeguarding of the fragile balance of the ecosystem in our body. Complete elimination all the micro-organisms from our environment is not a viable solution. We should maintain a good balance between each species if we don't want to increase our risks of allergies, for example during a simple voyage abroad.

Hygiene also fights against the environmental factors being able to contribute to a deterioration of health, among others, pollution.

Certain global solutions of health also called the hygiene systems (which one could also call hygiene of life) propose concrete ideas and solutions (often alternative to those of the "exploiters"). For example, natural hygiene, declares that the human body is a system which is maintained and cares for himself (without drugs) and that the lifespan should be between 120 and 150 years. Among the other assertions, one finds, that the primary causes of mortality are: stress, overaccumulation of toxins, work overload, overfeeding, the exposure to to non-healthy substances... the "treatments" to which natural hygiene recurs include fasting, physical exercise, and to avoid anxiety, stimulants and vaccines from the personal habits.
