” Old women,” says Brand (op. cit.), ” were always famous for curing warts ; they were so in Lucian’s time ;” and he refers to the time-honored cure for warts, that of stealing a piece of beef from a butcher’s shop, rubbing your warts with it, then throwing it away or burying it ; then as the beef rots, the warts decay. I daresay that the excitement of the theft was one element in the cure.
When we study cure historically, we find many meanings and many interpretations. This page presents a random quote from many years of searching for information and understanding of the meanings of cure.
The book A New Theory of Cure (there being no “old theory of cure”) provides a comprehensive definition of cure for all curable illnesses.
Health is whole.
An illness is a hole in our healthiness.
A cure fills the hole with health.
