Cherie,

You really hit on a lot in a little bit of words, I need to learn to do that.

I boil down many of the thoughts -
1) Does a cure require having the ability to prevent/vaccinate others not yet diagnosed?
2) Does a cure mean you must have a ready antidote for someone after the diagnosis?
3) Does a cure mean you are returned to your pre-illness state or is it acceptable if there is irreparable damage left behind?
4) What if the damage is significant?
5) Is the cessation of progression enough to call a treatment a cure?



Too bad you can't set up a poll on this website. Thank you Cherie for your thoughts. I wonder how each of us has a different experience that effects the degree of change we would require of something called a care. Ken
