Abstract
In the field of the relationships existing between a religious dynamic and a political process, are situated some health politics. This is the case, for instance, of the health politic that the Seventh Day Adventist Church promotes. This doctrine was born in USA in the mid 19th century, based upon the visions that Ellen Gould WHITE claims to have received from God. She was the prophetic leader of the adventist movement which inscribes itself in the Revivalism of this era, and among various millenarian and apo calyptic currents. This vision, concerning the meaning of the Apo calypse's message of the three angels, allowed Ellen to integrate her entire platform for sanitary and social reform — copied clo sely upon the one of the reformers of her time — into the religions reform whose necessity had been « revelated » to her in a vision, also. Thus, a veritable health religion, which is characteristic of adventist soteriology, is the condition sine qua non of religious health.
