- | The above example is a misuse of the word “cure.” For one thing, an actual cure results from a treatment that allows all participants to become well, no side effects or long-term harm included. Did the above study check in with its subjects a decade down the road in order to access their health years later? Probably not. But if they did, the subjects were probably symptomatic again, as gene therapy has not yet been adopted as an effective way to treat disease. | + | The above example is a misuse of the word “cure.” For one thing, an actual cure results from a treatment that allows all participants to become well, including |
The public often isn’t satisfied with the medical community’s perception of a “cure,” which is why so many patients have left mainstream medicine – searching for solutions among doctors that practice alternative medicine or even among psychotherapists. | The public often isn’t satisfied with the medical community’s perception of a “cure,” which is why so many patients have left mainstream medicine – searching for solutions among doctors that practice alternative medicine or even among psychotherapists. | ||
