Masslighting - medical gaslighting the masses. Unfortunately, the blindness begins with "cure". Today, most diseases are considered incurable - ADHD, arthritis, autism, bloat, back pain, cancer, Crohn's, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, gout, hypertension, inflammation...

Many more are "there is no cure for..." the common cold, COVID, influenza, measles - even as most cases are easily cured. What happens when a cure occurs? Masslighting. Cured is not medically defined for that disease - so no cures are possible. Cured is not medically defined for any disease cured by any "alternative medical practitioner" - so no cures are possible. Cured is not medically defined for any mental disorder, or any chronic disease, so no cures are possible. Medical gaslighting has been systemic for decades. In the early 1900s, doctors feared there were so many cures they might be out of a job. Today, there are no cures - just job security.

To your health, Tracy

One of the things I've always been amazed by is how effectively the usage of "cure" has often effectively been outlawed in medical practice.

When we defined cure scientifically we are forced to understand and admit that most cures come from health, not from medicines, that cures are common - most cases of illness are trivial, easily cured, and that every so-called alternative medical practice produces many cures. That's a serious challenge to "modern medicine."

Cures kill revenue streams. Working on a cure promotes endless revenue streams.

Most cures don't even create revenue by manufacturers. The cure for smoker's cough isn't a drug. Neither are the cures for obesity, gout, diabetes, hypertension, and more.
