Illness and disease are natural processes. We can understand these processes better as we study the natural progressions of illness.

Every illness has a cause. An illness element, the simplest illness, has a single cause.  Infections are caused by bacteria.  Colds and flu are caused by a virus. Scurvy is caused by a dietary deficiency of Vitamin C.

The first stage of any illness has a single cause.

An elementary illness has three parts: Continue reading →

Conventional medicine has a huge problem with cure.  It’s a technical problem: “cured” is not defined for any non communicable disease. Because cured is not defined, no non communicable disease can be cured and proven to be cured.

One of the things I find annoying in medical publications is the nonsense use of the word “health” in place of medical terms.

Below is a recent editorial published in the Lancet, with every incorrect use of the word “health” corrected to “medicine” or “medical”.

Of course, I might have made some mistakes – it’s hard to know the intent of the authors when such propaganda motivated doublespeak, newspeak, doublethink, wordsmithing is so commonplace it becomes invisible. Every instance of the word HEALTH in the entire article that becomes more accurate when replaced by MEDICINE or MEDICAL.  Judge for yourself.

It’s time to put CURE back in medicine. Cure, the word cure has disappeared from modern medicine. Cure is not medically defined for most diseases, so most diseases cannot be cured, by lack of definition. It’s time for a change.

The new book: A Calculus of Curing, clearly defined ‘cure’ for every curable illness. Of course it’s not possible to define cure for an incurable illness. Continue reading →

In the summer of 2016, I encountered a used copy of Webster’s New World Medical Dictionary, Third Edition, 2008, and looked up the word “cure”.  Cure was not in the medical dictionary.  Neither was “incurable”. I soon found many other medical dictionaries that did not contain the word “cure” and no dictionary that presented or even claimed to present a medical or scientific definition of cure.  I wrote several blog posts, and started my research.

Today, almost two years later, I have published a definition of cure, cures, curing and cured in the book “A Calculus of Curing“.  The book is available in print, and will be available soon in Kindle format as well.

A Calculus of Curing presents three fundamental causes of illness, the illnesses that result, and the basic cure technique for each.  This is not a book of cures, it is a foundation to be  used to find, understand, and judge cures when they are encountered.

The basic concepts of the book can be seen in this diagram:

Which is also featured on the back cover of the book and in the book’s summary and conclusion.

If you are interested in understanding the concepts of cure, I encourage you to pick up a copy of the book, or the Kindle version when it is available.  I’d love to have an opportunity to discuss these concepts with you.

to your health, tracy
