Healthicine

Every illness can be cured.
No disease can be cured.
Cured must defined to be attained.
Cured is an improvement in healthiness.
Cured occurs when a key cause is addressed.
Healing occurs before, during and after the illness.

Notes:
1. Every illness can be cured. The Healthicine Creed.
– every single case of an illness has the potential to be cured.
– it is not possible to prove that an illness cannot be cured.
– it is logical to assume that the illness can be cured.
– an illness is active, not stable. Curing is stopping the activity.
– if it cannot be cured, it is not an illness, it might be an injury, a natural or unnatural physical feature, a disability, a deficit, or a handicap, which might be healed, or repaired, but not cured. Cured cannot be defined for these conditions.
– proof that it cannot be cured, is proof that it is not an illness, that it is an injury, and natural or unnatural feature, a disability, a deficit or a handicap.

2. No disease can be cured. The Healthicine Creed.

You might be surprised to learn, I certainly was, that modern medicine has no science of ‘cure‘. Freud developed the talking cure, but it was only a treatment, with no test for the patient being ‘cured’. Homeopathy often uses the word cure but has no tests for cured. It has only treatments. Modern medicine has a very poor understandings of cure and no definition of cured for most diseases. Medical dictionaries often fail to defined cure and modern medical reference texts seldom use the word cure, when they do, without a definition, use is inconsistent.

Most diseases are treated, never cured. Cured is not defined for any non-infectious disease, not defined for any chronic disease, not defined for any mental disorder, and not defined for any disease cured by health. “There is no cure for the common cold (influenza, measles, etc.).”

The Risk Virus has infected modern medicine.

Let’s begin with a story.  It’s a common story, any doctor, or any nurse can tell you a similar story from their experience. In this case, it’s a true story I recently heard from a friend, who just happens to be a doctor. It did not happen to him as a doctor. It happened to him as a patient. If you talk to your nurse, or your doctor friend, they can all tell you a similar story, but they can’t explain it.  This post will explain it.   Continue reading →

Many cures are invisible. Can a doctor diagnose a cure? Can a doctor diagnose an invisible cure? Obesity is one of the most common diseases today.  Scientific American recently reported “Obesity Trends in the U.S. Reflect a Global Epidemic“.

There’s an epidemic of obesity attacking Northern America.

Let’s suppose that John has been diagnosed with obesity and prescribed a diet to treat his disease. John tackles his obesity, and wins.  He goes back to his doctor and passes the diagnostic criteria. He no longer has the disease obesity.

Is John cured? Was he cured by the treatment? Continue reading →

 Is depression a disease, or is it several diseases? Is it possible to have two depressions?

Is depression a curable disease or an incurable disease? Some of the time?  All of the time?

Dr Kelly Brogan has written a revolutionary book about depression, A Mind of Your Own, where she points out that depression is a symptom, not a disease. If you want to have a look, you can download chapter 1 here. She’s right, but there’s more. Continue reading →
