If it is the case that "alternative," holistic forms of healing–Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy (which I practice, among other methods), etc.–do not favor the concept of "cure," that is because it is a disease-oriented concept. E.g. you cure someone of pneumonia or acne. It is a term wedded to the reductionistic system of Western medicine that treats disordered parts of people. In homeopathy and, I suspect, other healing disciplines that treat the whole person, we speak not of cure but of restoration to full health, which is our goal. What is full health? It is the ability to fully function with a general sense of emotional/mental/energetic well being.

The bankers will ensure we stay in debt. The pharmaceutical companies will ensure we stay sick. The weapons manufacturers will ensure we keep going to war. The media will ensure we are prevented from knowing the truth. The Government will ensure all of this is done legally 🤫
