It analyzes how health has been commodified in the interest of large companies (particularly those related to the pharmaceutical industry) to the detriment of a holistic definition of wellness through education. Furthermore, the concept of health as a right disagrees with such commodification or sale to the highest bidder, which prompts dehumanization of health services and public misinformation. The abundance of self-proclaimed gurus or healers who appeal to autosuggestion contributes both to confusion and to an unhealthy cult of healthiness. Recibido 20 de noviembre de 2014 • Corregido 2 de mayo de 2015 • Aceptado 31 de julio de 2015El artículo busca una reivindicación de la sabiduría ancestral de los pueblos indígenas en el ámbito de la salud, analizando cómo esta ha sido mercantilizada por intereses de grandes compañías (entre las que destacan las relacionadas con la industria farmacéutica) en detrimento de una concepción holística del bienestar a través de la educación. Por otra parte, el concepto de salud como derecho entra en conflicto con su comercialización al mejor postor, incidiendo en la deshumanización de los servicios sanitarios y en la desinformación ciudadana. La profusión de autodenominados gurús o sanadores que apelan a la autosugestión contribuye a la confusión y al culto no saludable de lo saludable.
