All chronic illnesses have chronic causes, by definition. They are cured when their chronic causes are successfully addressed. A chronic cause can be an attribute, like physical damage or status, which continues to cause the illness until it is addressed, like mercury poisoning. Or the chronic cause can be a process, like the cause of chronic smoker's cough, which continues to cause the illness until the process is changed. The chronic causes of a chronic illness are not limited to body and mind. We can find both attribute and process chronic causes in attributes and processes of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities and environments. Only a cure proves the cause.

Unfortunately, our current medical systems cannot recognize either of those cures, because the cure is not an approved medicine or medical treatment. Most chronic diseases have multiple chronic causes, because most elementary chronic illnesses - those having a single cause - are eventually cured. A case of diabetes, for example, probably has, at least an attribute cause - the inability to process sugars correctly, and also a lifestyle or process cause - inappropriate consumption of foods containing sugar. Two cures are needed. If only one is accomplished , the other might maintain the illness and even recreate the other cause. Modern medicine does not recognize cured for any disease that requires two or more cures. As a result, all chronic diseases are considered to be incurable.

You're spot on with this!

We predict what we cannot go and see, to handle what may happen.

Sometimes it's off.... Sometimes it becomes hyper active and we live in our predictions instead of here, now.

First step, notice the sensations and feel which are real via self touch and compare that to the condition.

It becomes a choice after a while of doing that.

It's like getting plugged back into nature.
