Strain producing golden yellow pigment (Staphylococcus aureus) considered as pathogenic where as white pigment producers S. albus(later renamed S.epidermidis) considered as non- disease causing strain.
Expressing the plight of Blindness, José Saramago quoted- The "white sickness" is a different kind of disease, it disables the infected without killing them. Blindness is a major health problem worldwide. It is a tragic, devastating condition both physically and mentally. Congenital blindness is by fate but acquired blindness due to lack of diagnosis is a mirror to the loophole of medical science. It contributes to the enormous burden of ill health in the developing world, where infectious diseases continue to be the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Corneal diseases are a major cause of blindness worldwide as a “silent epidemic”, second only to cataract in overall importance.1 Ocular trauma and corneal ulceration which are significant causes of corneal blindness, unfortunately underreported. It is estimated that 3-4 million people are blind due to corneal opacity. It is also estimated that 6.5 million people are effected with and 1.3 million new patients become blind due to corneal ulcer annually posing a major health problem for developing countries.2

This book showcases the diverse range of healing cultures, and explores how government action can have an impact through determining, promoting, protecting or destroying traditional cultural aspects of healing and wellbeing, based on a case study of Sri Lanka. It argues that diverse forms of healing practices matter not only because of their value in the health and wellbeing of the community, but also because they strongly contribute towards the intangible cultural heritage of the country. Identifying the diverse forms of healing practices existing in the country and the role of the existing regulatory mechanisms determines the potential for protecting the diversity of healing. Despite Sri Lanka being historically rich in traditional knowledge and expression, very little, if anything, has been written on regulating traditional practices related to health and wellbeing in the country, a lacuna which this volume fills.
