It's related to the idea of a material universe, from which consciousness somehow paradoxically arises, so that consciousness is an illusion while everything unfolds according to dead-matter principles of physics. This is a highly cynical (and false) understanding.
This leads to the idea that the body is a deterministic system, like a car, and that the outcomes of this system are purely dependent on physical inputs (ignoring the mind completely).
This leads to beliefs like that the body will fall apart unless you take it to a mechanic; that health is not something you create; that you need to get injected with health from the outside, and that you desperately need doctors for survival.
None of these ideas are true, and they are in fact highly detrimental. People then need doctors because they believe this.
Yes.
