Have you noticed that there are thousands of books that claim to cure?  Have you noticed that our medical establishment dismisses most of them, and refuses to support any of them? How can this be?  Why does it happen?

The problem is simple. Cure is not defined in medicine. A further complication comes from the word cure, and how cure is defined outside of the field of medicine. There are two fundamentally opposing definitions of cure – often confused and mixed without awareness.

1. When many people think of a cure, they believe in a ‘cure’ as the end of an illness, where medicine is no longer required.
2. However, cure is also defined by many dictionaries as any treatment for an illness, with little respect for effectiveness. As a result, there are many books about ‘cure’ that are actually about treatments which make no attempt to cure.

Most books about curing illness do not use the word ‘cure’ in the title nor in the contents. The word cure is often forbidden in medicine, with the common belief that cures are miracles – and we cannot study miracles with science.

So how can we find books that cure? Continue reading →

Let’s face it, the basic theory of homeopathy is bunk. ‘Like cures like‘. Not only is it simplistic nonsense, demonstrably false. It’s not even true to the meaning of ‘cure’. Homeopathy claims that substances which cause similar symptoms, cure the symptoms.  But we don’t ‘cure’ symptoms.

We cure illnesses. Symptoms rise and fall, wax and wane, as long as the illness is active – and fade away when it is cured. When we attempt to cure ‘symptoms’, the inevitable result is that the illness will appear to go into remission, and later reappear.

Homeopathic theory has no theory of cure, no clear medical or scientific definition of cure or cured, rendering the homeopathic mantra is ‘like cures like’ to a meaningless (but nice sounding) phrase.

So.  If the basic theory of homeopathic makes no sense, how does homeopathy persist?  How does it continue to exist, even to thrive in the face of modern medicine? Brace yourself for the reality. Continue reading →

If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I’ve discovered there is no scientific, medical definition of cure. Well, I’ve finally resolved that issue, after much research and many sleepless nights, I’ve created what I believe is a useful, complete definition medical of cure, that can be applied to any illness.

Creating A Medical Definition of Cure

Before we define ‘cure’, we need to define what we are curing. Are there diseases that cannot be cured? How can we know? Are there diseases that can be cured? How can we know? Continue reading →

Today is senior’s day at the local drug store – time to stock up on supplies. But not toothpaste evidently. I prefer Tom’s, but I sometimes buy Sensodyne Original. I used to buy it there. Not that I’m partial to Sensodyne, just that it is one of, possibly the only toothpaste commonly available (outside of health food stores) that does not contain fluoride. But, the clerk said “If it’s not on the shelf, we don’t sell it.”

My local drug store, like most big chains, has over 50 different flavours of toothpaste. I say ‘flavours’, because there is only one basic ‘formula’, in four or five different brands. Most of the 50 different toothpaste Continue reading →

In medicine, everything is a ‘medical condition’ and sometimes, even more than ‘everything’ is a disease.  Medical conditions and diseases are defined (or not) by medical authorities and by diagnosis.

In healthicine, need to distinguish between illness, injury, and disability.
