Incurable?
July 24, 2012
After a decade in practice, I’m still perplexed by conventional notions of what’s “curable” and what’s not.
- Why do we heal from the flu, but only go into remission from cancer?
- Why does a specific set of test results mean we have type 2 diabetes forever, even if we change our lifestyle and reduce that blood sugar to normal levels?
- Why is Crohn’s “incurable” even though many people never experience symptoms again once they change their diet?
Remission is a term we use when we expect a disease to return. But is expecting something to return really the most helpful way to approach it?
My experience–and that of thousands of others–is that healing from many chronic diseases is possible. It might be that changing our perspective begins with changing our language.

“?Why do we heal from the flu, but only go into remission from cancer?”
I don’t think Allopathic (MD medicine) medicine uses the word “cure” in their language. Statistics for chemotherapy treatment is inaccurate as they declare “success” if cancer is warded off for five years, even if you die on year six.
Big pharma has too many billions invested in keeping us sick and keeping us buying their drugs. They are constantly suppressing information.
While MD doctors are great for fixing you up after you a break a leg in a car accident, they are not the people you want to see for a chronic illness. A well trained Naturopath is a better choice as they will seek to treat the root cause instead of supress the symptoms.
