Conquering Sickness presents a comprehensive analysis of race, health, and colonization in a specific cross-cultural contact zone in the Texas borderlands between 1780 and 1861. Throughout this eighty-year period, ordinary health concerns shaped cross-cultural interactions during Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo colonization. Historians have shown us that Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo American settlers in the contested borderlands read the environment to determine how to live healthy, productive lives. Colonizers similarly outlined a culture of healthy living by observing local Native and Mexican populations. For colonists, Texas residents’ so-called immorality—evidenced by their “indolence,” “uncleanliness,” and “sexual impropriety”—made them unhealthy. In the Spanish and Anglo cases, the state made efforts to reform Indians into healthy subjects by confining them in missions or on reservations. Colonists’ views of health were taken as proof of their own racial superiority, on the one hand, and of Native and Mexican inferiority, on the other, and justified the various waves of conquest. As in other colonial settings, however, the medical story of Texas colonization reveals colonial contradictions. Mark Allan Goldberg analyzes how colonizing powers evaluated, incorporated, and discussed local remedies. Conquering Sickness reveals how health concerns influenced cross-cultural relations, negotiations, and different forms of state formation. Focusing on Texas, Goldberg examines the racialist thinking of the region in order to understand evolving concepts of health, race, and place in the nineteenth century borderlands.

"How would you react if you were told you had contracted an incurable illness? Scared? Angry? Upset? Devastated? When Dinesh Patel was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, in incurable illness of the central nervous system, one expected him too to go through a roller coaster of emotions. Except he said it was better to have Parkinson's than ""conditions like heart attack, stroke, cancer, asthma, kidney failure and so on that are treatable."" In 'Conquering Parkinson's Disease', Dinesh writes an intimate and inspirational account of how he took on the illness headfirst and emerged victorious. He continued to lead an enriching life full of music and art while privately battling a progressive disease. His contagious optimism for life infected all those who came in contact with him, including acclaimed Marathi playback singer Sanjeevani Bhelande and noted actress Smita Jaykar. ""His enthusiasm is exemplary,"" notes Bhelande."

When we get irritated, mad, emotional, resentful, furious, upset, hateful, etc., the adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopaminepowerful hormones that are part of the human bodyacute stress response system are secreted into the bloodstream. They affect our body by stimulating the heart rate, shrinking blood vessels, and expanding our trachea and bronchia, inflating and deflating our lungs during high stress or exciting circumstances, all of which work to upsurge blood flow to the muscles and oxygen to the lungs. When these hormones are forwarded into the bloodstream from the adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys (about three inches or 7.6 cm in length), at least one of the electrons from the atoms that form the cells of every organ of our body is replaced by one electron of these hormones, amplifying our energy and turning it more capable of executing (in a microsecond) reactions not commonly done under normal conditions. These natural self-doping boosters are reserved for the defense department. These reactions may cause us to run faster, jump higher, scream louder, or take higher risks, putting our life or the life of others in danger by acting irrationally, having incontrollable body reactions designed to defend ourselves as part of our defense mechanism system. The ideal response to our problems is to deal with them with objectivity without any emotional attachments to them in that way to avoid all the reactions that cause illnesses and complications to ourselves.
