Rapid Recovery From Illness - level 1

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

A cure is the end of a medical condition; the substance or procedure that ends the medical condition, such as a med-ication, a surgical operation, a change in lifestyle, or even a philosophical mindset that helps end a person's suffer-ing. It may also refer to the state of being healed, or cured.

A remission is a temporary end to the medical signs and symptoms of an incurable disease. The proportion of peo-ple with a disease that are cured by a given treatment, called the cure fraction or cure rate, is determined by comparing disease-free survival of treated people against a matched control group that never had the disease.

Inherent in the idea of a cure is the permanent end to the specific instance of the disease. When a person has the common cold, and then recovers from it, the person is said to be cured, even though the person might someday catch another cold. Conversely, a person that has success-fully managed a disease, such as diabetes mellitus, so that it produces no undesirable symptoms for the moment, but without actually permanently ending it, is not cured.

Related concepts, whose meaning can dif-fer, include response, remission and recovery.

दोउ करकी उभै हतेली कोर वारिली मै ले भेलीख ।

सो आगा नै भूपरि दाखै माहा नै अंगुली मिलि राखै ॥

अङ्गुष्ट छीदा राखै दोई पुनह हथेली पिष्ठि जु जोई ।

तापरि मूलद्वारि टिक कैसे बहुज्यौ जुगति करै एक कैसे ॥

कुहुण्या महिली आखि मिलावै हाथ उद्रसौ लग्या रहावै ।

बहूरो लांबा पाव पसारे फणा उर्ध्व एडी भू धारै ॥

अङ्गुष्ट अवर गुलफ माहिला राखै जुडया करै नही खुला ।

साधै नासा द्रिष्टि लगाई ताको हरस रोग सब जाई ॥
