Fixing the symptom and not the cause

‘I was talking about treating causes with a fellow once who insisted, ‘When I get a flat tire, I just fix it. I don’t worry about the causes.’

I replied, ‘Would you try to fix the leaking hole in the tire while the nail was still in it?’

He said, ‘Oh, I see your point.’

Doctors do the very same thing when they cut out cancer in a colon or breast. They leave the cause. Patients go home and pray that it doesn’t come back again. Seldom are they told to change their diets. They are rarely given nutritional advice. And they are never told to clean out the toxicity and filth that is causing their suffering. They go home and keep on doing what they did that created their problems in the fist place. They are told to ‘enjoy life,’ if they can.’

-from Cleanse and Purify Thyself, Book 1 (page 57) by Dr. Richard Anderson
