100 years later, they are still looking for the pure cure. In 1998, I met, and later married, someone who had been 'cured.' She was #28 of the kidney and pancreas transplants in Australia (only after your kidneys fail and you find a suitable donor). A 'cure' but reliant on anti-immune drugs for the rest of her life and very susceptable to every illness going around. Unfortunately, she had the pokies sickness and things did not work out to well for us.
I was diagnosed with diabetes 30 years ago and have managed to stave off the debilitating affects by some control. Diet is the best way of controlling diabetes. But I do enjoy my pizzas, pasta, pies and beers (every now and again). At least I know what I do to my body will make matters worth it and I am the one who controls my intake. I would love to be able to sit back and eat a Mars Bar but I know what the long-term affects will be.
Others, like MS, are still being studied and it may be on the horizon to find a cure or a means of arresting the affects but the horizon always seems so far away. Maybe the horizon will suddenly be there, maybe not for us to meet it. But while we have hope, there is always the chance.
Discoveries keep happening, and yes, where we have hope and a positive attitude, there are many chances of staying healthy. I spoke to someone yesterday who has a recurring thought of "I am dying". Well, that's not going to help staying well of-course. Sometimes it can be as simple as altering the words we say to ourselves. Often there is way too much negative chatter upstairs. So for starters, this woman just needs to replace the above words with say, "I am healthy" and immediately she would be feel much better and more likely to stay well and fall ill.
By the way, there is a cancer vaccine available now which will be commercially released by 2020. It will prevent most types of cancer, and works by seeking out and destroying cancer cells, which at present the body treats as normal cells because of the way they disguise themselves.(apologies if I have already mentioned earlier).
At least for yourself, you can exercise a lot of control in the positive direction. Some diabetes can be reversed completely by changing one's diet. Dr. Barry Sears, a biochemist who wrote the book, 'The Zone", and discuss this at length, so if you like to read about eichosonoids, he's your man.
