Minutus

Joy could you perhaps post a case of someone you have 'cured'
as opposed to 'helped' so that we can discuss the difference. I
know the theory so you dont have to explain.

Rochelle, or was it Rosemary.... believe me EVERYONE zigzags,
EVERYONE. Not only that, everyone who has been on practice
for any length of time has piles of case notes of patients they
have zigzagged to nowehere, let alone cure.

Palliation can be a huge "help"--yet when the remedy (at various
potencies as appropriate) has done all it can do, it leaves the person
right back where they started.

"Cure", tho, is a relative term, IMO; and a process rather than an
endpoint. However, there are "steps toward cure" wherein certain
problems are dispatched and gotten past, and the overall level of
health and wellbeing is better than before. To my mind *that* is what
qualifies as "cure", even tho perhaps only partial (a step *toward*
cure?).

Does that suit for you?
