Health (V. Revo, 1999) [27] – is a term denoting a conditional state of an organism in which freedom from limiting the quality of life is maintained. These limitations cause various causes: social, psychological, physical, functional, as well as pain. Therefore, N. A. Berdyaev (Н. А. Бердяев) had reason to define health as freedom in an ontological representation [2]. The term “health” has only generally accepted sense, but does not have a systemic content. Therefore, concepts such as health, improvement and health promotion have no real content, providing only scope for crafty initiatives. As F. Nietzsche wrote: "There is no health in oneself, and all attempts to define this kind of thing result in a pitiable failure. In order to establish what, in fact, means health for your body, it is necessary to reduce the question to your goal, your horizon, your forces, your inclinations, your delusions, and in particular to the ideals and chimeras of your soul. <...> Finally, the big question remains whether we can manage without disease, <...> In short, is not the exceptional will to health a prejudice, cowardice and, perhaps, a kind of subtlest barbarity and backwardness [15]. The paradox of health is that the body, functioning to provide homeostasis in the mode to decrease entropy, needs diseases, which are banks of negentropy. According to the preamble of the Charter of the World Health Organization (1948): "Health is a state of complete physical, spiritual and social well-being, and not only the absence of disease or infirmity" [64]. This definition is incorrect, since the phylogenetic memory of any organism always contains all the programs of its possible diseases. It is characteristic that in the dictionaries of the 20th century, e.g., in the Terminological Dictionary of Medical Knowledge (1907), the Great Encyclopedic Dictionary (1991), in the Biological Encyclopedic Dictionary (1995) the definition of "health" is absent. Look Valeology.
