Create a 5 page essay paper that discusses Themes of Healing in Sontag, Starhawk, and Bly.

Modern academic debate is concentrated around the connection between the patient and the illness: Sontag, for example, sees illness such as ‘Cancer’ as a disease developing entirely independently of the ‘host’, and therefore not connected with lifestyle, or any other outside influence. She also emphasizes that ‘treatment’ is the sole option for all illnesses, and that eventually, Science will be able to find the ‘One cause’ of cancer.Sontag demonstrates that at the same time as she dismisses those seeking lifestyle causes for cancer and other illnesses as blaming, and making cancer the subject of Anti-intellectual pieties and a facile compassion all too triumphantin contemporary medicine and psychiatry.Sontag is also placing a great deal of emphasis upon the importance of science in medicine. so while she might criticize the ‘Complimentary medicine’ movement as bringing spirituality into medicine, she also has a great deal of ‘faith’ in the power of future science to find this magical one cause for cancer, and then provide an equally magical cure. In assessing Sontag’s book, it should not be forgotten that, at the time of writing, she was also suffering from cancer. Her views might be seen as reflecting her own battles, and her own battleground between her faith in science, and her illness. In contrast, Starhawk has clearly shown that she believes that science is not enough to cure a person.
