Why not?<\/p>\n<p>On March 15<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020, I was in Arequipa, Peru, when the COVID quarantines began. My scheduled April flight home was cancelled. It took time and money to return to Canada on a rescue flight.<\/p>\n<p>Having recently published a book on the concepts of cure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Elements-Cure-Tracy-Kolenchuk-ebook\/dp\/B07M7KPPWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(The Elements of Cure<\/a>), I thought it would be easy to cover COVID-19 in a new light, hopefully, less than 100 pages.\u00a0 <!--more-->I began to research and write. As I wrote, the situation changed and changed again, and again. Every day, new statistics, new facts, new claims, and new denials emerge. I worked to maintain balance and at a higher level, a theoretical cure view, to not get caught up in the day to day news, most of which has no relation cure.<\/p>\n<p>To cure a case of COVID-19, we need a comprehensive definition of the COVID-19, and a complementary definition of cure covering all aspects and all cases. Neither exists today. COVID-19 is incurable.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is poorly defined. There are two main problems: uncertainty about causes and the poor definition of the disease (<em>the virus, recognized by WHO as the cause, often does not cause any disease<\/em>). COVID-19 is related to many prior, and secondary diseases making a definition more challenging. What is cured? When is a cure present?<\/p>\n<p>Health is often viewed as the opposite of disease, disease as the opposite of health, an inaccurate and incomplete view.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HealthisWhole-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7087 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HealthisWhole-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HealthisWhole-web.jpg 620w, http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HealthisWhole-web-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><em>COVID-19, like any disease and all COVID diseases, is not a thing. It is a concept that exists on the boundaries between healthiness, illness, and disease. The consequences of an individual case might be improved healthiness (but we don&#8217;t study healthiness scientifically so we don&#8217;t know for certain) or mild, moderate or severe disease, even death.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our current medical systems function in limited disease\/treatment paradigms. Knowledge is intentionally isolated in many different silos. Only the conventional medical silo has official status. The conventional medicine\u2019s paradigm treats COVID-19 but does not, cannot, recognize COVID-19 cured. Medically, cures do not exist except for a very few infectious disease cases, those cured by officially approved medicines that kill, disable, or remove the infectious agent. Millions of cured COVID patients are labelled recovered (<em>many are simply ignored)<\/em>. There is no definition of, and no test for COVID cured. All cure and cured claims are mistrusted. Claimants and claims are dismissed, shunned, sometimes banned.<\/p>\n<p>No proof of cure is possible, cured being undefined.<\/p>\n<p>As we open our view to encompass all cures, we see many new realities. Most cases of COVID-19 are cured by health. Today, with no theory and no practices of health we have no tools nor techniques to detect cures. We count deaths from COVID. Cures are ignored.<\/p>\n<p>We have much to learn, as we begin to study health.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Elements-Cure-Tracy-Kolenchuk-ebook\/dp\/B07M7KPPWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6201 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BookCover-ElementsOfCure-kdp-web-181x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"181\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BookCover-ElementsOfCure-kdp-web-181x300.jpg 181w, http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BookCover-ElementsOfCure-kdp-web.jpg 361w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><\/a>to your health, tracy<br \/>\nAuthor: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Elements-Cure-Tracy-Kolenchuk-ebook\/dp\/B07M7KPPWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Elements of Cure<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: <a href=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/blocked-covid-19-blocked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID-19 from Causes to Cures<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of this post consists of extracts from the book: <a href=\"http:\/\/healthicine.org\/wordpress\/blocked-covid-19-blocked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID-19 from Causes to Cures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have not succeeded in answering all our problems\u2014indeed we sometimes feel we have not completely answered any of them.
