Abstract
Theoretical discoveries and practical insights of complexity science lead to a new understanding of health as a vital characteristic of the all-embracing web of life. The new concept of health ecology developed in this paper reveals delusions in the medical model of health currently used, and illuminates a way to health by continuously strengthening the self-healing capacity of nature and humans.
