 now maybe this guru didn't take it this far, but a la Ivan Illich, I'd use it
 as an indictment of the social system we use in, see the body as rebelling
 against what is being imposed upon it, and maybe if we constructed a more
 joyful, affirming life, we wouldn't face some of this nonsense! I'm not
 supposing a utopia, but one doesn't need to in order to project a state of

 I think there is in the 'mainstream' a profound denial  about the probable
close connection between ultra domesticated modern life, lost of personnal
initiative, responsability, repression of emotions, frustrations, lack of joy
etc... and the increase of cancer rate.
