This makes so much sense.

Chronic illnesses have chronic present causes - each of which might be an attribute or a life process. The cure for an attribute cause is to change the attribute, a one-time cure. The cure for a process is to change the process - an ongoing cure.

When an illness has multiple present causes, addressing any one of the causes produces a partial cure. Partially addressing any one of the present causes also produces a partial cure.

However, modern medicine has no techniques to judge partioal cured for any disease - not just chronic diseases. So modern medicine cannot step towards curing chronic diseases. In addition, if a chronic disease takes a real step towards a completely cured status, modern medicine cannot recognize the forward movement, much less recognize it as a cure.

Therefore, all chronic diseases are incurable.

Agree. And this is about us being whole beings, where thoughts and emotions can affect the body, and we are relying on our sensory input, which has still not been fully integrated from mental health science to physical health science. Just this division is the problem

Stress plays a huge part when dealing with chronic pain. I can attest to that. Thank you for sharing this important fact. I believe in the Holistic approach.

The more I think about it and experience it in my clients, I will say that pain is an emotion that is not processed but instead stacked for years until it feels like pain. I hope you get some help
