The Cure Myth
"What more can be asked by any doctor or layman than a philosophy of the cause of disease that gives a perfect understanding of all the so-called diseases? To know cause supplies even the layman with a dependable knowledge of how to avoid building disease, and how to cure it. When people know how to avoid disease they know an immunization that immunizes rationally.
Dependable knowledge of what disease really is and its cause is man's salvation; and when it can be had with no more effort than that required to read carefully and understandingly Toxemia Explained, there is little excuse for anyone, lay or professional, to live in ignorance of it.
Knowledge is power. Knowledge of how to have health gives greatest power."
John Tilden, MD
Everywhere you look, people are pining for a cure. There are races for the cure, walks for the cure, runnings for the cure, cyclings for the cure, etc.
We don't need a cure. We need to learn to stop making disease.
That may sound a little insensitive. Tough love sometimes does sound like that. If I'm speculating, your idea of a "cure" probably consists of something that comes in the form of a pill, potion or lotion. But, what if your lifestyle caused the disease to begin with?
Let's take diabetes as an example. If I were to give you a pill that made your diabetes disappear, you'd probably feel good about that and you'd probably pay what I charged for it. But, what's the problem with that? First of all type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease. What's preventing you from developing type 2 diabetes AGAIN because you never learned how to prevent it in the first place? If you don't learn THAT, you'll be a diabetic AGAIN within a few weeks.

It doesn't matter. If you lifestyled yourself into it, you must lifestyle yourself out of it.
The body is constantly trying to keep itself in homeostasis. Our health is based on abiding by the rules that govern our bodies. The idea of a "cure", in the sense that most people think of a cure, will never be. Remove the interference and let the body do what it was intended to do. Health is your birthright. Own it and embrace it.
