Health and disease are not stable conditions, but vital concepts subject to constant evaluation and change. The main reference through which the health-disease process are based, most commonly refers to concepts of the nineteenth century, where the predominant thoughts was related to germ theory, ie, the identification of a pathogen causing a lesion (inflammation) related to symptoms. However, the evolution of epidemiological studies has shown that there are many gaps in our understanding of the process of health and illness. This paper aims to highlight some aspects of the medical literature dealing with the concept of disease and health, exposing the dilemma of the variability of clinical manifestations or expressions and highlight some points of homeopathic doutrine on these same aspects, analyzing possible interfaces between these knowledge. For this, we start with a brief revision of basic and current concepts of immunobiology. Then, we highlight aspects of the health-disease process in homeopathic doctrine contained in the Organon da arte de curar, Doenças Crônicas sua natureza peculiar e sua cura homeopática of Samuel Hahnemann and the book Lições de filosofía homeopática of James Tyler Kent. We discuss the visions of health-and disease causation on the themes of Experimental Pathology and hygienic hypothesis and finally saw some historical aspects of the evolution of health care and causation process. We conclude by showing the interrelationship between the different approaches of the health-disease concept studied by us, and especially how homeopathy relates to these approaches, containing the most important features historically associated with the mode of illness in humans.
