Curing and healing

It is important to acknowledge thatthere is a difference between curingand healing.

Curing means the elimination ofsymptoms or signs of a disease.


58/62

Curing and healing Treatment with drugs, surgery,herbs, or other methods may cure

you by relieving the symptoms ofdiscomfort, pain, or disease.

However, unless the underlyingpattern of dysfunction is stopped,the symptoms may recur


59/62

Healing

Healing goes deeper than curing, andoccurs when the root cause is overcome

and the systems of the mind-body,including emotions and spirit, are strongand vital.

Although health care professionals can

help facilitate healing, the ability toheal ultimately comes from within.


60/62

Conventional health care

The current system ofconventional health care can be

enormously frustrating andlacking in real answers forpatient diagnosed with chronic

health problems.


61/62

Conventional health care Visits to the doctor may result in drugprescriptions with which you may notfeel comfortable.

The medication may keep the symptomsin check, but what you really want is foryour patient to completely heal and

reclaim health and vitality.

philosophy Healing is usually not as simple astaking a pill or a natural remedy.

Patient are all different and their

mind-bodies are complex.You may hear of a treatment that hasworked for another child, but this

does not necessarily mean it will helpyour unique patient.
