Abstract
The sharp rise in price of diagnosis and treatment today indicates the need for a change in health care strategy. The existing health care strategy leads to its bankruptcy amid a steady increase in morbidity. We suggest to develop an alternative strategy based on a pure natural approach, namely, the thermodynamics conception of health. A living organism can be considered as a system of open thermodynamics, the stability of which depends on its energy potential. In this case, when an individual leaves the aerobic energy potential of the biosystem (12 MET for men and 10 MET for women), the entropy due to evolution increases with the subsequent development of pathology. By the alternative of existent strategy of healthcare as a fight against pathology there is counteraction of entropy. An organizational form of counteraction of entropy is measures aimed at the maintenance of aerobic energy potential of the bio system within bounds of “safe” zone of health.
