So some of this super insane "Humanity is a disease" and "kill it so the Earth can live" is pretty upsetting. Having studied Ayurveda, I know that number one, we are literally the planet. We are created out of the Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether. The food we eat becomes our bodies. Insperable, just changing forms.
Second of all, the argument "humanity is a cancer" needs to be understood. Cancer is a group of cells that have gotten out of harmony with the greater whole. Western medicine aims to "kill it" with radiation, etc.: "A war on cancer." This practice of warring on things is actually a practice of self hatred, and part of the disease of viewing things as separate from ourselves, when that is infact impossible.
"Heal Thyself."
How is this concept different? Holistic medicine aims to get elements that are our of balance, back in harmony. So the solution is not to "kill humans to save the planet," but to get humans back into harmony with Nature - their Greater Self. Nature is not something outside of us to save. It is ourselves, and we are capable of healing, with the correct worldview and actions that stem from it.
