Healthicine

Modern medicine often fails to cure, resorting to treatments for symptoms, instead of curing illness, advising patients to ‘learn to live with’ their diseases. What is the theory of cure? There is no theory of cure in modern medicine. How can we tell which illnesses are curable, and which are incurable? Modern medicine, for all its technical proficiency, has no answer. But there is a simple answer.

“Every illness can be cured.”  – The Healthicine Creed. That doesn’t mean we can cure every instance of an illness, but every illness has the potential to be cured.  Can this be true? Can we make it true?

The internet is awash in vaccine posts.  Everybody, it seems, has an opinion, and wants you to see things from their point of view. Punt “vaccine myths and facts” into Google today and you will see over 700,000 hits. Of course, few of the so called “myths” are actually common myths. ‘Myths’ and the ‘facts’ are specifically chosen, with answers specifically designed to support each author’s position.

Forget myths.  What vaccine facts are actually important? What vaccine questions are important? What answers are important? Continue reading →

What is an incurable disease? How can we know for certain that a disease is curable or incurable? 

There are lots of diseases that are classed as ‘incurable’ by modern medicine.  It’s easy to make a list. Start with all of the ‘chronic’ illnesses.  By definition, chronic illnesses are ‘chronic’, and patients are advised to ‘learn to live with them’. Arthritis, asthma, hypertension, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, even cancers… there are many more.

Are they really incurable? Wikipedia’s editors removed their page about ‘incurable diseases’. Why? According to Wiki, Continue reading →

Is there a science of medicine? What are the fundamental theories of medicine? What are the fundamental theories of illness? Why doesn’t medicine have a basic theory of cures? What is the theory of prevention?

Is physics a science? Yes. Any university, in many countries can provide an introductory text to the concepts and theories of physics.  Chemistry is a science. The main theories of chemistry begin with the periodic table but they are so well developed that they intersect with the field of physics.  Is biology a science? Of course it is. Biology is the study of life, and all aspects of life.

Medicine, modern medicine, is blind to health. Diagnosis is blind by design.

Diagnosis requires medical blindness. The facts are gathered and studied to produce a yes/no decision, to separate patients into sick and not sick, into black and white. Shades of grey are ignored in diagnosis, until time for treatment. Your health insurance does not decide to pay or not pay, depending on ‘how sick’ you are.  If you have a diagnosis on their list, they will pay.  Your prescription medication is not controlled by ‘how sick’ you are.  If you have a diagnosis, you can get a prescription.

Healthiness is best represented in color.

Healthiness has many factors, which can range from low to high. In this diagram, red indicates danger and green indicates healthiness. Each factor of health is on a scale, none are every likely to be perfectly healthy, nor perfectly unhealthy. Continue reading →
