I began developing the theory of cure when, in 2016, I discovered that no medical dictionary, nor medical publication contained a philosophical, theoretical, or scientific definition of cure that is generally accepted and used in medical practice. Over the next ten years, I have published several books, papers, articles, and blog posts, gradually developing and improving on a general theory of cure. Last year, in 2025, I began a complete overhaul, not of the core theory, rather, a consolidation of the wording used to describe the concepts. This paper is the first publication with those changes. The theory of cure of April 2026, is the result of ten years of research and work preparing a comprehensive theory of cure.
Introduction:
None of today’s medical practices, and no historical medical practice has any theory of cure for all diseases. The very concept of disease suffers a similar deficit. Although our medical systems often use the word cure, especially in regulations and marketing, the concept of cure remains undefined. Most medical texts confuse the words cure and cured, and make only poor distinctions, if at all, between is cured and has been cured. Bureaucratically, a cure is an approved product, not an action, not a process. No doctor, clinic, hospital, medical system, nor insurance company counts cured cases, much less maintains or analyzes statistics of cured cases of any specific disease, much less any general studies of cured. Medically, most diseases, from the arthritis, to the common cold, from cancers to zika virus disease, are considered incurable – even though most cases are cured. We have no theory, barely a basic understanding of cure. When we ask any doctor, in any conventional or alternative practice of medicine, any medical researcher, any medical philosopher for a definition of cure –we rarely receive a response, much less any agreement. This is the problem to be resolved by any general theory of cure.
Presence: Health, Illness, Cause, and Consequences
The fundamental starting point to understanding cure is presence. The presence of health, the presence of illness, the presence of causes and consequences of health and illness. We can only cure a specific present case of illness. When an illness is present, its causes and consequences are also present. To cure is to address the causes, such that the negative consequences are no longer occurring – such that the case of illness is no longer present. It has been cured.
A cure is an action, a process undertaken in the present to address causes of illness, to create a new status: cured, in the new present, to move the illness, its causes and negative consequences into the past.
No causes, signs, symptoms, nor consequences of illnesses, by themselves, constitute an illness. The presence of an illness, by definition, consists of present causes and the negative consequences of those causes.
Curable Illness
An illness is that which is present, that which we desire to cure, to be cured. The theory of cure is about curable illnesses. A curable illness is one that can be cured. A curable illness consists of a set of causes and negative consequences that are linked such that when the causes are addressed, the negative consequences stop occurring and the illness is cured. References to illness, in his text, refer to curable cases of illness. Disease is a medical term. A case of disease might be curable, or not.
A case of illness is a judgement that a negative situation is present and in need of our attention. The presence of an illness, of its causes and consequences, might be faint or strong, and might be steady, fluctuating, repeating, growing, or shrinking over time. Cured is a judgement that an illness is no longer present, that the illness causes have been successfully addressed, or are no longer present.
Negative Consequences
We typically judge an illness by its negative consequences. As we study cure, we can also learn to judge a case of illness by its causes. Throughout our lives we experience many signs and symptoms that might be an illness, most of which we simply ignore, or address in the moment, and life goes on. We are hungry and we eat. When we are suffering from malnutrition, food cures. The difference is one of degree, a judgement. We feel pain and we move away from the cause. We judge an illness to be present when the negative consequences of an illness are severe or persistent enough to warrant concerted attention, when we desire a cure.
Every case of illness has two components: cause and negative consequences. These components are interdependent. Causes are responsible for negative consequences. When the cause is successfully addressed, the negative consequences stop occurring. If the negative consequences are no longer occurring, the cause, even if it is still present, is no longer causing those negative consequences. The illness is no longer present. It has been cured.
The Four Domains of Illness Consequences
The negative consequences of an illness occur in the four living domains of life and healthiness: body, mind, spirits, and communities. Negative consequences in diets or environments are not considered illnesses.
Body: Our bodies are physical. Illness is most obvious in the body. We feel physical discomfort or pain that persists and identify it as an illness to be cured. As we become more ill, our bodies lose their ability to function effectively. Other people, community members, medical professionals, and sometimes even machines can see or measure negative consequences of illness on our body.
Mind: Our minds observe, remember, calculate, and plan future actions. Illness consequences in the mind are more difficult to detect. Our mind easily rationalizes its errors and failures. But, when we are ill, these faculties begin to fail. Others might detect problems before we notice them, and denial is often a factor.
Spirits: Our spirits drive us forward, give us direction in the face of changing life circumstances. When we become depressed or manic, when we lose our motivation, desire, or direction in life, our spirits are suffering negative consequences.
Communities: All life forms, all living individuals, live in communities, participate in communities. Our lives and health are affected by our communities and by other communities. When we suffer illness, negative consequences can affect us, our interactions with our communities, and the way different communities interact with us.
All life forms, not just humans, have physical bodies, even those without brains have some sense of a mind, some ability to observe internal and external environments, to make life decisions, to remember past events, and plan future actions. All living entities have the spirits of life, or they fade away and die. All living individuals are part of many communities, of the communities of life. Any individual living entity can suffer cases of illness and those illnesses can have short-term or long-term negative consequences on body, mind, spirits and communities.
We often deny the presence of our illnesses – not just mental illnesses. Denial can be a positive or negative force depending on the case. We might deny or successfully ignore an illness until it is cured by natural or other forces. In other cases, denial can facilitate growth of cause and consequences, leading to more severe illness and injuries.
Cause
The fundamental starting point in any theory of cure is an understanding of cure cause. We cure by addressing the causes of an illness. To understand cure, we need to study and understand cause and effect.
Unfortunately, many philosophical conversations about cause and effect, are about past events like “a caused b.” The theory of cure, on the other hand, functions only in the present. Understanding the theory of cure requires a different concept of cause and effect.
A case of illness exists in the present. The cause of a case of illness, the cure cause, exists in the present. The consequences of the cause exist in the present. The cure must come about in the present, to move the illness into the past. Past illnesses become faint memories. Past causes can no longer be proven – they are gone. Future causes are hypothetical. Future illnesses are speculation.
Causes and Consequences
The cure cause of an illness is the cause which, when successfully addressed, results in a cured status. Cure causes exist in the present, with the present illness consequences. Together, these comprise the illness. If either disappears, the illness is cured.
Only a present case of illness can be cured.
The Six Domains of Life Causes
Causes of life, of healthiness, and of illness are present in six domains: diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, and environments. Body, mind, spirits and communities are living domains. Diet and environmental factors might be living or not and can be internal to the living entity, or external.
Diet: our diet changes throughout our lives and can produce healthiness or cause illness, even both at the same time. Our diet includes not just what we eat and drink, but also what we absorb through our lungs and our skin. Our understanding of diet must include abstinence, the intentional or unintentional absence of consumption.
Body, Mind, Spirts, and Communities: form the living individual and require sustenance, exercise and rest. Healthiness of body, mind, spirits, and communities rise and fall throughout any individual’s life. When the healthiness of body, mind, spirits, or communities fall, it can cause negative consequences in other aspects of healthiness, leading to illness.
Environments: an individual lives in many external environments and has many internal environments of body, mind, spirits, and communities. Our environmental factors, like all causal factors, can promote healthiness, or cause illness in different situations.
It is important to understand that most causes of illness are also causes of healthiness in different circumstances. Life takes healthy advantage of factors in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, and environments to live, to grow, to heal, to reproduce and to evolve. Most causes only create illness in rare or exceptional circumstances.
Thus, we begin our understanding of illness and cures at the root, the causes of illness. The cause of a case of illness is that which, when successfully addressed, produces a cured status. The cause of an illness can only be proven by a cure. A cured result proves the cause.
Two Causes of Illness
To cure is to address the illness’s present cause, it’s cure cause. There are two types of cure causes of illness, which we can view nouns and verbs. In the theory of cure, these are called status, or attribute causes and lifestyle, or process causes.
Status Causes: An illness might be caused by the presence, absence, deficiency or excess of some status or attribute of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. An illness that is caused by a status is cured by changing the status such that it no longer causes illness. The presence of a cured state proves the cause. Status cures are one-time cures. If the status cause occurs again, a new case of illness might occur.
Injury Causes are in the past. Excessive stress can cause injuries to body, mind, spirits, or communities. However, the stress that caused an injury is gone. Only the injury is present, causing negative signs and symptoms. From a cure perspective, the injury itself is a negative status, the cure cause. Injuries are defined as illnesses that are cured by healing, although many severe injuries require additional cures. When an injury is healed, an illness has been cured. Like all status cures – injury cures are on-time cures.
Lifestyle Causes: Life consists of many processes, including the intentional avoidance of specific processes, in diet or environment, that, for the most part are healthy. Lifestyle or process causes of illness can be present in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. When a life process has negative consequences, we might judge an illness to be present. To cure requires a change to the life process cause. Process cures require ongoing curative action (or ongoing intentional inaction). If the cure process is stopped, a new case of illness might occur.
There are gradations, but no clear distinctions between the different types of causes of illness. An injury is a present status. A status might be a measure of a process, and a process cause might alternatively be seen as a series of status causes. In addition, as an illness persists or grows it can cause changes to present status, including injuries, as well as changes to lifestyle processes. As we improve our practices of curing, we can improve our understanding. The simplest distinction between a status cause and a process cause of illness is simply that illness resulting from a status is cured by changing the status, but to cure an illness caused by a process requires an ongoing process.
This next image illustrates the two causes of illness, status and lifestyle causes, in relation to each other.
STATUS CAUSE: A negative status or attribute can be
– a thing or status that causes illness
– the absence of something that causes healthiness
– an injury.
The cure is to change the status, a one-time change.
LIFESTYLE: A negative process or lifestyle can be
– an ongoing life process
– the absence of a process
– a process might be periodic, seasonal, or otherwise repeating
– many of our life processes change over time.
The cure is to change the process, with an ongoing process.
Note: an attribute of a process that, once changed, does not require ongong actions is a status cause, not a lifestyle cause.
Three Types of Illness
There are three fundamental types of illness, based on these causes.
Status Illness: the signs, symptoms, and negative consequences of a status illness being caused by a present attribute of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments, which can be accessed and changed to produce a cured status.
An Injury Illness was caused by a stress in the past. Injuries are also status illnesses. The injury is the present status, the cause of signs, symptoms, and negative consequences. Injuries are defined as illnesses cured by healing.
Lifestyle Illness the signs, symptoms, and negative consequences of a lifestyle illness are being caused and maintained by an ongoing life process of the afflicted individual’s diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments which can be addressed, changed to produce a cured state.
Note: An infection is a status illness, not a lifestyle illness – although it is a process of the infection lifeform, it is a status of the ill individual, cured with a one-time cure, not an ongoing process.
An illness can cause illness. Most status and lifestyle illnesses are not diagnosed as diseases until after they cause injuries. An injury illness can cause a change in life statuses or processes, causing additional status and lifestyle illnesses. A lifestyle illness can cause injuries or changes in status, leading to status illnesses. A status illness can cause us to change our life processes, causing a lifestyle illness.
An illness cause is a status or a process in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. The negative consequences of any illness cause might be present in body, minds, spirits, and communities of the individual. However, an illness is not something we can isolate to a specific domain or set of domains. The illness is a concept, the realization or conceptualization that the cause and consequences are linked. When the link is broken, when the cause in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities or environments is successfully addressed – the illness concept disappears.
This image illustrates the gradations of status illnesses, injuries, lifestyle illnesses.
Illnesses are defined by their cures. A cure proves the cause, proving the type of illness.
Status Illnesses: When an illness is cured by a one-time transformation of the cause, it was a status illness.
An Injury Illness: is a status illness, cured when the injury is cured by healing.
Lifestyle Illness: can only be cured by an ongoing process which must be maintained to maintain the cured status.
Any cause of illness might be cured by many different, many alternative cure actions. Cure actions consist of changes to attributes or processes in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. The cure proves the cause.
Just as there are no clear distinctions between different types of causes, there are gradations, and but no clear distinctions between injury illnesses, status illnesses, and lifestyle illnesses. We make distinctions by curing. Different cases of a similar illness or disease might be cured by a status change or by a process change. Only a cure proves the cause. Only a cured state defines the illness type.
The Three Cures:
Every cure is a result of a change to, a transformation of cause, in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. Cures do not need to transform the individual – only the cause of their illness. Of course, many changes that address the cause of an illness also change the individual in some way.
Radical Cures are one-time changes to specific life attributes or statuses that are causing an illness. The status cause is changed, transformed, to produce a cured state. Status illnesses might be cured by intentional actions of the individual, or their communities, or in severe, difficult, or risky cases by medical communities. Sometimes, a radical cure’s change occurs by coincidence, accident, or some random force. Once cured, the illness is gone. If the cause occurs again, a new case of illness might occur.
Healing Cures are the natural curative process present in body, mind, spirits, and communities. Healing cures injury status illnesses, curing most cases of bodily cuts, bruises, sprains, minor broken bones; most mental and spirit cases of depression, mania, loss of drive; and most cases of community caused illnesses like abuse and burnout. Life is naturally curative. Healing processes are generally based in growth, but healing often requires destruction or removal of unwanted attributes and processes. Most cases of injury illnesses are minor, easily cured without any intentional curative actions or processes. When an illness is cured by healing processes in body, mind, spirits, or communities, it was an injury illness.
When an illness is cured by a radical cure or by healing, it was a status illness.
Caring actions are ongoing processes of individuals self care, or communities that maintain life and healthiness and when illness occurs, are often able to cure. Most caring activities have no curative intent – and do not cure any illness.
Caring Cures can come from the individual, caring for themselves, or from our communities caring for individuals and communities. Our medical communities also provide care for those who are ill. Caring cures are preventative cures. They are ongoing processes (or the intentional absence of a process), that must be maintained to maintain the cured status and prevent future cases of illness. Once a lifestyle illness is cured, if the curative process stops or fails, a new case of illness might occur.
RADICAL CURING: consists of making status changes to body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments to produce a cured status.
HEALING CURES: make radical changes to body, mind, spirits, or communities to address an injury’s present cause, the injury.
CARING CURES: are changes to life processes of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, and environments to create a cured status of a lifestyle illness.
The success of a cure proves the type of illness.
The cure, a successful cure, proves the cause, because addressing, removing the cause has produced a cured state, cured the illness.
In the theory of cure, when an illness is cured by ongoing processes of caring for diet, body, mind, spirits, communities or environments, by self or by others, it was a lifestyle illness. Note: diet is a process, such that most cures brought about by changes to diet cure lifestyle illnesses, not status illnesses. Poisoned is a status, cured by a transformation, poisoning, however, can be a process illness, cured by a lifestyle change. This image illustrates the three cures and the gradations between them.
As with different types of causes and illnesses, there is no clear distinction between radical cures, healing cures, and caring cures. We can learn more by practicing curing than by complex theoretical analysis.
Healing, Caring, and Radical Curing
We can combine these three images into one to illustrate the entire theory, from causes to illnesses to cures.
It is important to understand that most causes of illness don’t cause illness most of the time. In addition, most cases of illness are minor and easily cured. Most healing cures, caring cures, and even radical cures, are not medical. This has always been so.
With this firm understanding of cause, illness, and cure, we begin a study of the concept of an elementary illness, an illness element, and use that concept to construct or model more challenging, compound and complex illnesses and to understand their cures.
Elementary Cause, Elementary Cure
An elementary case of illness has a single cause such that addressing that single cause produces a cured state or status. Most cases of illness start as elementary illnesses, and most are cured while they are elementary.
This next image illustrates a model illness element, the hole it creates, and the cure. Many variations are possible. This image illustrates a status illness, cured by a single cure action. Once cured, the cure process is no longer required. However, in the case of a lifestyle illness, the cure action might have been present before the illness, or not, and must be maintained after the cure is attained to prevent future cases of illness. After the cure, the specific level or levels of healthiness involved might not recover perfectly, or in some cases they might recover higher, healthier than before the illness. Every case is unique.
The illness cause is shown to be present with the illness. It does not cause the illness and then exit; that would be a past cause, no longer present to be addressed, not useful to cure.
Throughout a case of illness, the hole, the signs, symptoms, and damage caused by the illness cause often waxes and wanes over time due many factors. We might fight signs and symptoms with intention, or with medicines that do not cure, like painkillers. Healing is always active, always fighting injuries created by the illness. The illness cause might be present in diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. It might be a simple status or attribute, as illustrated in this image, or a complex process. Over time, the cause might be:
o temporary, such that no cure action is required
o repeating, not occurring and then reoccurring during the timespan
o periodic, repeating according to some specific pattern of the individual’s lifestyle, an environmental factor like the seasons, or some other repeating factor.
o chronic, an attribute or status that persists until it is addressed
o lifestyle, a chronic process that persists until a process is adopted to address the cause.
As we can see in this image, it is possible to have an illness that does not reach the level of disease diagnosis. When we study all cases of illness, we will find that most are cured before they reach a level of diagnosis. Some might never reach a level of diagnosis, even as they are never cured.
A cure cause is a cause of illness which, when successfully addressed, results in a cured status.
A cure element is a process that addresses the present cause of an illness element causing the negative signs, symptoms, consequences and their progression to fade and stop, thus ending, curing the illness. Some negative consequences might still be present and might be judged as independent illness elements. Most cure processes function by improving healthiness. However, many cure actions trade one aspect of healthiness for another, often in the expectation that the decreased healthiness will recover. Sometimes a curative action that reduces overall healthiness is required, perhaps due to the belief or understanding that the risks presented by the illness are less than the risks of the cure.
Elementary cases of illness, while remaining uncured, can acquire more causes, becoming compound or complex, requiring multiple cure elements.
We can use the concept of an illness element to construct a model of any curable compound or complex case of illness. Of course, some cases of diseases or other medical conditions might not be curable, at which point they depart from the framework of the theory of cure.
When an illness has multiple cure causes, multiple cure elements are required to cure the overall illness. These cures might, depending on the case, be completed simultaneously or they might need to be completed in specific sequence.
Partial Cures – Complete Cures
When a cure cause is partially addressed, a partial cure might occur. A partial cure can also occur when some, but not all cure causes of an illness are addressed. It can be difficult to determine that a partial cure has occurred.
A complete cure indicates that all cure causes of the specific illness, which might be a set of illness elements, have been fully addressed.
No cure is perfect. Life goes on. No cure is permanent. Causes can reoccur.
Compound Illness
A compound illness case has multiple present cure causes producing similar illnesses, similar signs symptoms, and negative consequences, such that multiple cure processes are required to produce an overall cure. Addressing fewer than all of the cure causes – produces a partial cure. As previously noted, it can be difficult to prove a partially cured status. A compound illness might consist of any combination of each type of elementary illnesses: status causes, injuries, or lifestyle illnesses, each causing signs and symptoms considered to be a single illness.
A secondary illness is an illness that was caused by another illness. The primary illness might be past, such that the secondary illness has been caused by the primary, or in the present, such that the secondary illness is being caused by the primary, creating a complex illness.
Complex Illness
A complex illness is exists when one present illness is causing another. Curing the secondary illness often fails because a new case is constantly at risk of being created by the primary illness. Curing a primary illness, on the other hand, often facilitates a natural, or healing cure of the secondary illness. In some cases, intentional cure actions are needed for both the primary and the secondary illnesses.
Disease
Most elementary illnesses are cured so easily that there is no need for medical attention, much less a disease diagnosis, even when a diagnosis might be possible. Our medical systems routinely ignore elementary illnesses and their cures. They do not warrant medical attention.
As a result, most cases of disease are compound or complex cases of illness, consisting of multiple elements of illness, requiring multiple cures. Sometimes, an elementary illness is considered so severe that it is designated to be a case of disease.
Any curable case of illness or disease can be mapped to a set of curable illness elements, either an elementary illness or a combination of illnesses elements, possibly a compound or complex illness.
Cases of incurable illnesses are outside of scope of the theory of cure. Incurable is a belief that might be accepted but can never proven. Incurability is disproven by a cure.
Curing
Every cause of an illness might be addressed in many different ways. “One cure” is a marketing term, a marketer’s dream, not a useful concept in the theory of cure. From this perspective, we can see many different kinds of cures, which leads us to many ways to cure and many more ways to improve our cures.
Healing Cures come from nature and can cure injuries not just of body, but also of injuries to our minds, our spirits, and our communities. Healing is unconscious curing, not limited to simple physical concepts of injuries. When we are injured by many illnesses, from the common cold, influenza, measles, and COVID and many others, our natural healthiness cures the illness, as healing simultaneously addresses the damage.
When we are healthier, we cure our illnesses more quickly and easily. Healing is based not just on the healthiness of our bodies, it is also influenced and aided by the healthiness of our minds, our spirits, and our communities. When our bodies, minds, spirits, and communities are healthier, we cure our injuries – and many illnesses – faster, more easily, and more effectively.
When we act to make ourselves, our bodies, minds, spirits, and our communities healthier, we can improve all types of cures.
Caring Cures come from our communities. Caring is an ongoing process, not a single action. It is a statement of faith in each other, in the value of others. Our first community, of me, myself and I, takes its curative powers from our caring for self, from our spirits, our drive to live, to survive, to thrive. When we are ill, or when members of our communities are ill, we act as communities to cure and to make curing more effective. When we act as a caring community, we can see preventative cures as powerful curing force. A cure is the best preventative of further illness.
When we develop life processes to look after ourselves and others, we also improve our caring cures. When we build and support the communities around us, when we make our communities healthier, we improve our community cures. There is no “one community.” To improve our cures we need a science to improve all communities. When our communities develop processes to make all communities healthier – we improve our cures, we cure faster, more effectively, and our cures become safer.
Radical Cures come from healthy changes to the attributes and statuses not just to our bodies, but in every domain of health, of life – and of illness: diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, and environments. Radical cures can sometimes be accidental, coincidental, or random. When we take control, when we make it our intention to address present causes of illness – we cure more cases of illness, and can learn to make our cures safer and more effective.
Every curable case of illness can be cured. To cure is to successfully address the causes of an illness. There are many different ways to address any cause of illness. Many different cures. The search for “the cure for a disease” has long proven to be a failed concept. We might successfully address any cause of a case of illness, might cure any illness, with changes to our diets, our bodies, our minds, our spirits, our communities, or our environments. We can only know for certain when we succeed. We might cure by changing specific statuses, or attributes – one-time cures, or we might cure by changing our lifestyle, our life processes of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, or environments. Limiting our cure actions to specific products, actions, or medical systems limits our ability to cure.
Some cases of illness cannot be cured. Sometimes, we die. Sometimes, it’s more effective to tolerate, to live with a specific illness than to risk a dangerous cure attempt.
Imperfect Cures are cures. No cure is perfect. No wound heals perfectly, but wounds are healed. No radical cure is perfect. No caring cure, no ongoing cure process is perfect. In many cases, we must accept partial cures. In other cases, partial cures are necessary steps on our path to a complete cure. Sometimes a failed cure points the way to a successful cure, by proving that our theory of cause was wrong, forcing us to look for a new cause or a new ways to address a cause.
No cure is permanent. Causes of health and illness are causes of life. Life goes on. Life is about change, not about perfection. Only death is permanent.
When we cure, we succeed. When we cure, the cure proves the cause.
Conclusion:
The theory of cure provides a clear framework for understanding the concepts of curable illnesses, their causes and their cures, beginning with elements of illness, of cause, and of cure that can be combined to understand compound and complex illnesses, to work towards their cures and understand when cured cases are attained.
“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not the same.”
The theory of cure is a framework that can be used in practice, to explore the boundaries between cure theory and practice, to create more and better cures of any illness. But the theory cannot point us to cures for incurable illnesses. When we encounter an incurable illness, we need the serenity prayer.
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can; and
the wisdom to know the difference.”
Incurable illnesses cannot be cured. Curable illnesses can be cured.
When we step back from specific illnesses to see the bigger picture, we can see that most illnesses are trivial, easily cure. Most cases of illness are curable, but incurable illnesses persist – so we see each of them for a longer period of time. When we move closer, each disease becomes a set of individual cases of illness. Each is unique, and therefore each cure is unique. When we step back and look at negative consequences, we see them in body, mind, spirits, and communities. When we step back and look at causes, we can find them attributes and processes of diet, body, mind, spirits, communities, and environments.
Distancia meliorat visionem. (Distance improves our vision.)
When we step away from illness, to examine other problems in life, from our flat tire to our flagging economy, we can see similarities. Some cases can be fixed (cured) some cannot. Of those that can be fixed, some might be fixed with one-time cure actions – status changes, while others require ongoing actions, process changes, to maintain the cure and to prevent future occurrences. We step away to see the big picture, but we need to step closer to see individual cases. Both views are important.
The theory of cure can be applied to solving (curing) solvable (curable) problems in living and non-living systems.
