Abstract: Medical science and education is dealing with illness, health and healing. But what is health? How does it work? It is a paradox that we know a lot about illness, but in general we do not know much about the effects how to become healthy, how to restore our health. Other sciences gave us more hints for the reasons that are summarized in this article. In order to take care for better circumstances in our social and medical system we should promote all ways to get better informed patients with a sense of responsibility and to give them the right of self-determination. Finally we are giving an example how to achieve patients well trained in conserving or in restoring their health: 'Strukturiertes Gesundheitstraining'.
