Every chronic illness has a chronic cause, a cause that repeats over time, a cause that persists, a cause that just won&#8217;t go away, and because of the chronic cause, the illness won&#8217;t go away.<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic types of illness &#8211; and there are two basic types of chronic illnesses. But, for an illness to be chronic, the cause must have a chronic nature.<\/p>\n<h2>Causal Illness<\/h2>\n<p>Many illnesses are caused by processes. Infections are caused by the growth process bacteria. Scurvy is caused the process (or lack of process) of not consuming sufficient Vitamin C. Every illness has a cause.<\/p>\n<p>Every cause has a cause. We might think all infections are caused by bacteria. An infection might be caused by an injury or wound &#8211; an incident, or by working in a dirty environment &#8211; a chronic condition. Scurvy might be caused by a temporary job on a ship with a crappy cook, or by poverty &#8211; a chronic condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Chronic Causal Illness<\/h2>\n<p>Any <span style=\"background-color: #f6d5d9;\">causal\u00a0<\/span>illness can be chronic.<\/p>\n<p>Working in a dirty environment can lead to chronic infections.\u00a0 Normally, infections are cured by healthiness. Dangerous infections might be cured by antibiotics.\u00a0 But the most powerful antibiotic cannot cure a chronic infection caused by a dirty environment. The cure is to address the cause. To cure a chronic infection caused by working in a dirty environment, it is necessary to clean up the environment or to stop working there. Likewise, chronic scurvy is cured by addressing the chronic cause &#8211; and <a href=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/why-cant-we-cure-scurvy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cannot be cured by simply providing Vitamin C supplements<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Attribute Illness<\/h2>\n<p>An attribute illness is caused by an attribute or a thing. Carpal tunnel can be caused by poor posture, or by a poorly designed chair or desk. Plantar fasciitis (aka plantar fasciosis) is caused by a shortening of the plantar fascia.<\/p>\n<h2>Chronic Attribute Illness<\/h2>\n<p>Attribute illnesses are chronic. Because they are caused by an attribute or a thing, they persist until the negative attribute is changed, transformed to a neutral or even a positive attribute. Carpal tunnel caused by a poorly designed chair or desk can be cured by transforming or replacing the furniture.\u00a0 Carpal tunnel caused by poor posture can be cured by changing &#8211; improving posture. <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/healthicine-theory-and-practice\/i-cured-my-plantar-fasciitis-and-nobody-gives-a-damn-2d3982b1d94c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chronic plantar fasciitis is cured by addressing the chronic cause &#8211; the shortness of the plantar fascia.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cataracts are a chronic illness. Cataracts are cured by transformation, by replacing the blocked lens with a clear lens.<\/p>\n<p>Obesity is a chronic condition with a process cause.\u00a0 It is not caused by food, nor by eating. People who eat don&#8217;t get obese. It is not caused by overeating. People don\u2019t get obesity from overeating at Christmas, for example. It is caused by chronic overeating. The cure for obesity is to address the chronic eating problem, by finding the cause of the chronic cause and addressing it.<\/p>\n<p>Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition caused by a process. It is not caused by eating sugar.\u00a0 It is not caused by eating too much sugar.\u00a0 It is caused by chronic unhealthy eating. <a href=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/diabetes-cured-healthicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The cure for type 2 diabetes is to address the chronic behaviour that feeds diabetes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Any disease, any illness can be chronic.\u00a0 Every illness has a cause.\u00a0When the cause is chronic, it creates a chronic illness. Many causes, like overeating, only cause illness when the cause is chronic.<\/p>\n<p>No illness, no case of disease, no medical condition is a \u201cthing\u201d to be \u201ctreated\u201d. A curable illness is the intersection of cause and consequences &#8211; and the cure is to address the cause. A chronic illness is the intersection of a chronic cause and chronic consequences.\u00a0 It cannot be cured by simply addressing the cause.\u00a0 We cannot cure a chronic infection by curing the infection.\u00a0 We only cure chronic infection by addressing the chronic nature of the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to \u201ctreat\u201d chronic conditions fail to cure, fail to recognize cures when they occur. Attempts to treat chronic illnesses can move us farther from cures, even as we succeed.<\/p>\n<h2>Complex Chronic Illness<\/h2>\n<p>An illness can have three types of consequences.\u00a0 A simple illness, like the common cold or flu causes signs and symptoms of illness which disappear when the illness fades. An illness like acne causes signs and symptoms, but as it progresses it can cause injuries which require healing cures, and as it progresses further it might cause damage, like scars, that cannot be healed.<\/p>\n<p>Because chronic illnesses persist over time, they can easily become complex over time. Many chronic illnesses have multiple complex consequences.<\/p>\n<h2>Compound Chronic Illness<\/h2>\n<p>A compound illness is one with more than one cause, such that if one cause is addressed the patient will still have the illness.\u00a0 For example, a poverty-stricken alcoholic might have a Vitamin C deficiency illness, or even scurvy because they can&#8217;t afford healthy food, and also because any money they get is spent on alcohol, not food, much less healthy food. In this case, two cures are required to cure the illness.<\/p>\n<p>Chronic diseases can easily become chronic. Why does this happen?\u00a0 It happens because we seldom attempt to cure chronic illnesses. When a patient acquires one chronic disease, and it is not cured by addressing the cause, a second cause can occur.\u00a0 Because the second cause results in the same illness &#8211; the new illness is not noticed.\u00a0 But curing becomes more difficult and might appear impossible. Even when a cure works, curing one element of a compound illness, it might not even diminish signs and symptoms significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>Chronic Illness Causes Chronic Illness<\/h2>\n<p>Chronic illnesses, when uncured, persist over time, becoming more complex and compound. As a result, chronic illnesses can often cause other chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>We can only cure chronic illnesses by understanding them and by working deliberately and scientifically to cure them.<\/p>\n<h2>Curing Chronic Disease<\/h2>\n<p>How many chronic diseases are actually compound chronic illnesses? We don&#8217;t know. Conventional medicine generally treats chronic diseases without attempting to cure them, without recognizing or counting cures when they occur\/ We don&#8217;t understand chronic diseases. And we&#8217;re not trying to understand them.<\/p>\n<p>To your health, tracy<br \/>\nFounder: Healthicine<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48
