The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical,

mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and

infirmity.‖ Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being;

using alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity

and promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits);

Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as
