When I was a young boy, I went to Sunday School every week. Later, I grew older and began attending regular church meetings and listening, not always quietly, to the sermons. I don’t remember the name of the church – it’s not important. But, I remember the hand of my grandfather, reaching over the pew, quietly, tightly clenching my shoulder until I settled down.

TLDR: When Vitamin D cures a case of COVID-19, it wasn’t COVID-19, it was Vitamin D deficiency disease. COVID cured with Vitamin C? Same. COVID cured with Vitamin D and zinc? Only proves it wasn’t COVID. When Trump’s bleach solution cures? Paradoxical.
We’ve long heard that Big Pharma ignores cures and only sells toxic medicines. The motivation – in theory – is money. That’s part of the truth, but the core truth is much more fundamental: a failure to study and understand cure.

Today, no medical theory nor practice has clear definitions of cure, cures, curing, nor cured, much less a comprehensive definition covering all curable types of illness, sickness, and disease. This paper summarizes concepts of cure, as published in the book A New Theory of Cure. All cures are based on cause. We begin by defining and analyzing an elementary illness, having a single cause, cured by addressing that cause. These concepts are explored and expanded, creating a theory based on the two fundamental types of illness causes encompassing acute, compound, complex, repeating, and chronic cases of illness.
Each case of illness, disease, or sickness is a negative judgement by a person or community. Traditionally, an illness is what the person perceives, the patient’s view, the patient’s judgement. A disease is a medical view, what the doctor diagnoses, a medical community judgment. Sickness is a community view or judgement. Sometimes we use words like a disorder for mental illnesses or medical condition for a status, perhaps when we can’t clearly assign a disease name.
A person might have one, two, or more, possibly conflicting perceptions of their illness. Their judgements change over time, as does the illness. A single case of disease might be judged differently, medical judgements ranging from disease being present or absent and from one disease to another, when judged by different medical authorities – even more so when alternative practitioners are consulted. We each live in many communities, each having the potential to make many independent judgements of a sickness. Each of these three perspectives is related and independent. The actual illness, as well as each view of it, can change independently over time.
This text is about curable illnesses. The term used herein is illness. An illness is an intersection of present cause and consequences. It is not something we can see or touch, although we might see or touch some causes and consequences.
Cured is a positive judgement. The cure cause in each case is a judgement validated by the cure action that changed the status from ill to cured. Past and future causes are hypothetical, judged statistically, difficult to prove and rarely curative. Judgements might be right, or wrong, or partially right or wrong. However, to study illnesses and cures we must judge. A curable illness is a judgement that it can be fixed, cured, every illness being potentially curable. A cure proves curability. Incurable can never be proven. Death, many have commented, some calmly, some sarcastically, being the final cure.
Every illness is a consequence of a change. A cure is a change that converts an illness state forward to a non-illness state, rarely a change back to the previous state. Life moves forward. The simplest illness has a single cause, a change in a single aspect of healthiness. The simplest cure is to address that cause.
Health is whole. An illness is a hole in health, a hole in healthiness, a judgement that a hole exists. A cure repairs the hole, creating and improving wholeness.
It is useful to view an illness as a problem. We are familiar with solving many simple and complex problems. Problems with single causes, are easily solved. Compound problems, having multiple causes, are more difficult. Complex problems exist when one problem causes another, requiring two or more solutions, and sequencing can be important. A flat tire is a problem, the cause is usually a hole in the tire, cured by fixing the hole and re-inflating the tire.
The illness diagram is intentionally simple.

Doctors know how to cure COVID. Of course not every doctor knows how to cure. But many do. They also know talking about cures is forbidden. The Donald was cured, he said so himself. Trumps claims about COVID were simply dismissed and fact checkers are still active trying to figure out what he said, and what it means. His doctors? Doctors don’t use the cure word. Curing COVID is OK. Talking about it is a conspiracy theory.
Is Google your doctor? Twitter? Facebook? What about Amazon? Google has forbidden talking about COVID cures. Facebook flags every COVID cure post and every vaccine post with warnings and so-called “fact checking.” Twitter bans accounts for posts about “alleged” COVID cures. Amazon has blocked several books about treating and curing COVID. Even when COVID is cured, the cures are ignored. There are no CURED statistics. Not one. Officially, not even the Donald is cured.
When we look closely, we have many COVIDs? Most people, especially children only suffer COVID-zero. Adults often reach COVID-1. Most deaths are caused by COVID-2 or other diseases caused by the virus or the treatment. We don’t cure the patient, we cure the illness. Many cures are needed.

There is plenty of discussion, with the COV-situation, about the ability of Vitamin D to to cure. To date, these arguments back and forth wage back and forth – largely without any definition of CURED.
It’s not hard to define cured. It’s not hard to define cured by Vitamin D. There is no need to reference COVID. An illness with a single cause is cured when its cause has been successfully addressed. Let’s look at Vitamin D.
When our consumption of Vitamin D, or our exposure to sunshine drops, we develop Vitamin D Deficiency diseases. At first, the signs and symptoms are minor. Vitamin D deficiency is rarely diagnosed. As the damage progresses, the children can be diagnosed with rickets. Adults might be diagnosed with osteomalacia or osteoporosis.
“In 1903, photobiologist Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen won the Nobel Prize for medicine after successfully demonstrating that exposure to sunlight cured many diseases, including lupus vulgaris, or tuberculosis of the skin.” – Michael F. Holick, The Vitamin D Solution.
What is the cure for rickets and osteomalacia? No medicine can cure this disease. Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, 19th edition says “adults with osteomalacia and children with uncomplicated rickets can be cured by giving vitamin D 40 μg (1600 IU) po once/day.” Vitamin D, the only cure, is a nutrient, contained in many foods, not a medicine. Vitamin D is not documented as a cure for Vitamin D deficiency, perhaps because it’s so obvious.
