In a response to a letter by Alex Watson, Dr. Richard House contrasts two approaches to health: a “salutogenic” perspective that emphasizes natural healing and the body’s self-healing abilities, and the “pharmaceutical industrial complex,” which he views as materialistic and symptom-focused. He critiques Watson’s dismissal of his qualifications and emphasizes his extensive experience in psychology and patient counseling, particularly regarding the dangers of over-medication. House also argues that illness can serve a developmental purpose and critiques the reductionist thinking prevalent in conventional medicine. He notes a growing trend of people embracing holistic health views, suggesting that many are rejecting the narrow, materialistic lens of pharmaceutical approaches.
