This may be a bit out of place on a "materialist" discussion group but from what I know about Farmer he is a modern day "saint" --- his entire life's work has been devoted to helping those in need --- and he has as far as I can tell a "political economic" understanding of disease --- in that sense he is in the tradition of Dr. Norman Bethune [who was eulogized by Mao tse-Tung) and whose life I read about in one of those left wing books (identified as Prometheus Books) THE SCALPEL, THE SWORD]
Don't know if Farmer like like or accept the parallel ....
