Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. HEALTH is the balance of a person and the outside world. HEALTH is a complex, interrelated phenomenon.
2. HEALTH is not a continuous struggle.
3. HEALTH is not recovering from an illness.
4. The physical component is part of HEALTH, but not the whole aspect of HEALTH.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. The phenomenon of recovery is the basis for all healing traditions. The person recovers, or expects to recover.
2. Healing traditions are used for recovery, and not with the expectation that the person becomes more ill before becoming better.
3. Use of an outside person to help recovery is not a basis of healing traditions. Those who are healers become so through knowledge and uses of plants, herbs, and other methods that aid recovery.
4. Other interventions as adjuncts to healing traditions are not bases for using a specific healing tradition.
