Some "back-to-nature" schools of therapy assert that all diseases are the consequences of transgressing the laws of health, just as some esoteric schools assert they are the consequences of incurring karmic debts. The first often point to the wild beasts as being perfectly healthy examples of living according to Nature. But those who have firsthand acquaintance with jungle life will refute this claim. Not only are all animals--whether domesticated or wild--subject to sickness, but even plants, grain crops, trees, fruits, and vegetables are subject to it by blight and rust.
