Every illness has a cure. How can we find the cure? Every illness has a cause. How can we find the cause?

It’s obvious that every illness has a cure, obvious that every illness has a cause, but most of the time, when we encounter an illness, we don’t look for the cause, we don’t look for the cure, we treat the symptoms. Are the symptoms the cause? No. Are the symptoms the cure? Nope.

To clearly understand “The Cure is to Address the Cause”, we need to clearly understand what we mean by illness. Our medical systems don’t help much.  Modern medicine has no clear definition of illness, nor of cure. Modern medicine tackles ‘disease’, but it has no clear definition of disease either.

According to MERCK, the authoritative manual of diagnosis and therapy, there is no known cure for plantar fasciosis, AKA plantar fasciitis, AKA Calcaneal Spur Syndrome. The 2011 edition ends its analysis with “For recalcitrant cases, physical medicine, oral corticosteroids, and cast immobilization should be used before surgical intervention is considered.” Oxford advises me that “recalcitrant” means “having an obstinately uncooperative attitude toward authority or discipline.” Merck’s 20th edition, available online, removes the recommendation for “oral corticosteroids” and adds “extracorporeal pulse activation therapy (EPAT),.. a safe, noninvasive technique that is thought to…” For normal cases, it recommends “Treatment involves Achilles tendon and plantar soft-tissue foot-stretching exercises, night splints, orthotics, and shoes with appropriate heel elevation.“

The word cure is not used. There is, in fact, no mention of a ‘cure’. Plantar fasciitis is a bit like the common cold.  There is no cure for the common cold, but a healthy person can cure it with time – without medicine. There is no medical treatment – the only effective treatment is simply health. Although MERCK says “Recognized causes of plantar fasciitis include shortening or contracture of the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia,” it does not mention or discuss the concept that “stretching, lengthening the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia” – produces a cure. But it does.

This post is an exploration of the concept of cure, based on my own experiences with Plantar Fasciitis. My exploration of cure has, after many years of research and writing, culminated in the publication of the book A New Theory of Cure.

ps. There is no “old theory of cure.”

The healthiness of each individual is whole, extending to and including our illnesses.  As we move from healthiness to unhealthiness – we might become ill.  Sometimes, illness can attack even the healthiest person.

The double blind placebo controlled clinical trial is often touted as the foundation of scientific medical studies. But the science of medicine is broken.

The double blind placebo controlled clinical trial is at the heart of the problem that has taken over the medial mentality, taken over medical science.

The problem? The double blind placebo controlled clinical trial cannot test cures. The problem is trivial, and also impossible. Cures are simply not defined for most diseases. Not only that, the list of incurable diseases is gradually being defined, due to the success of clinical studies.

There is a good reason ‘cure’ is the only path to sainthood.  Cures are miracles, not the results of medicine – the results of God, or occasionally the results of the servants of God, as evidence of their sainthood. Every cure is an anecdote. Every cure is a miracle. Continue reading →

“Every illness can be cured.  No disease can be cured.”
– the Healthicine Creed

Is that sense, or nonsense? It depends on your definitions, your definition of illness, and your definition of disease, and your definition of cured. Continue reading →
