Where have all the cures gone? We used to think that insulin was the cure for diabetes, but now we know better. We used to cure infections with antibiotics, but now we’re not so sure it’s a good idea to medicate every infection. We used to cure warts with the strangest things, but now warts appear to be incurable. Are we losing the fight against disease?

We can’t even cure a common cold, how can we hope to cure cancer.

Actually, there are lots of cures occurring. We just can’t find them. We seem to think that all true cures are miracles, and all other cures are not real.

How can this happen? There are many ways for cures to disappear. Have you ever been cured? Can you prove it? Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with a disease, and now you don’t have the disease anymore. Are you cured? How can you tell? Let’s look at a typical scenario:

1. You get sick. You go do a doctor – or maybe you don’t. We don’t need to go to a doctor for every little sickness.


2. Your doctor makes a diagnosis – or maybe not. Not every illness can be diagnosed.


3. Your doctor recommends a treatment (doctors rarely prescribe cures) – or maybe suggests “wait and see”. Some illnesses need time to diagnose, others disappear if you wait.


4. Your illness is treated, or maybe not. Most of today’s treatments are not ones for the illness, they are treatments for the signs and symptoms of illness, with no attempt to cure.


5. Your illness disappears. Was it cured? Was it really there?

If your illness was cured, can you prove it? Can you prove it really existed? Can you prove the diagnosis was correct? Can you prove that the cure is complete and final?

No you cannot.

No. You can’t. Most cures disappear. You might believe you were cured. Your doctor might say you are cured. But your cure doesn’t count. Cures don’t count, because cures are not counted. If you die, a doctor fills out a death certificate and documents a cause of death.

But if you are cured – there is no form to complete. There is no tracking for cures. There are no statistics for cured. Every cure is an individual case, every true cure is an anecdote, and anecdotes are not just lost, they are simply ignored.

Cures are lost. Most, perhaps all cures are lost.

Let’s look at some examples:

Common Cold Cures

If you get a cold, and check medical theory, you will learn that there is no cure for the common cold. It’s nonsensical medical chauvinism. In truth, there is no medicine to cure the common cold – so in medical theory, the common cold cannot be cured. If your cold is cured by health, if your illness is cured by health, it doesn’t count.

But, but, but… If you are healthier, you get fewer colds, and your health cures them faster. Health not only cures colds, healthier health cures colds faster, and better. Conventional medicine suggests that the common cold is “self resolving”. Self resolving is medical speak for “cured by health”, so we don’t care about it.

But what if it’s not really a cure? What if you get another cold? Maybe your cold was just in remission for a few months, and it re-emerged. How can you tell? Cured is not defined for the common cold. Cures are lost because conventional medicine believes there are no cures. What if you take an alternative medicine, a herb tea, some chicken soup, and it cures your cold faster. Was it a cure? There’s no difference. Cures don’t count. Cure is not defined for the common cold.

Plantar Fasciitis Cures

Maybe you’re thinking “well, the common cold is different”, but is it? Let’s look at another common illness – well, not so common if you are young. But if you are over 40 or 50, maybe you’ve heard of plantar fasciitis, or plantar fasciosis – the latest naming fashion.

The common cold can be cured with health, in 7 days or less. If you leave it alone, it takes a week. Plantar fasciosis does not go away in a week, it takes months. Officially, there is no cure for plantar fasciosis. But many people get plantar fasciosis – and normally it goes away in about 6 months.

There are also many people who cure their plantar fasciosis in much shorter timespan. I cured my plantar fasciosis, but nobody gives a damn. What happens if you cure your plantar fasciosis? Nobody cares. If you cure your plantar fasciosis, is it really cured? You can go do a doctor and get a diagnosis for plantar fasciosis – but there is no diagnosis for cured. Cured is not defined for plantar fasciosis.

Wart Cures

Is there a cure for warts? As Dr. Andrew Weil points out – everything seems to cure warts, but nothing cures warts. Every doctor – according to Dr Weil, has seen warts cured by the strangest things, and Weil often asks doctors for their cure stories. But officially, there is no cure for warts. Warts cured is not defined. Was it always like that? It’s an interesting question.

In 1996 a clinical study “Homoeopathic versus placebo therapy of children with warts on the hands: a randomized, double-blind clinical trial.” treated 60 children with warts. According to the published research, 6 patients were cured in the study. There was no follow-up, but it is likely that all 60 patients were eventually cured. Warts tend to be cured by health – but health cures don’t count.

Only two years later, in 1998, an almost identical study, by some of the same researchers, “A double-blind, controlled clinical trial of homeopathy and an analysis of lunar phases and postoperative outcome.” was completed with 30 patients. How many were cured? The study did not report a single cure. What happened to the cures? Were they lost? How many of the patients still have warts? There was no follow-up, but it is also likely that every patient was eventually cured by health. But nobody cares. Cures don’t count. Cures are lost.

Diabetes Cures

There are many people who claim to “reverse” diabetes. There are, apparently, tens of thousands of people claiming to have reversed their Type 2 Diabetes. What’s the difference between diabetes reversed and diabetes cured? Diabetes cured is not defined.

Because diabetes cured is not defined, there are no cures for diabetes, and there are no statistics for diabetes cured, even though it seems that diabetes might be the easiest “incurable” disease to cure – if cures were not consistently lost by conventional medicine.

Cancer Cures

Maybe you’re thinking, well, the common cold, plantar fasciosis, warts, these aren’t very important. Nobody dies from these diseases. And they usually disappear. These cures aren’t very important. What about cancer?
