Most Americans have grown up with the conventional medical paradigm; learning to suppress symptoms as a means to "cure". For example, when you have pain you take an aspirin to stop feeling the pain, or if you have a cough you take a cough suppressant, or suppress a fever with Tylenol. The symptoms may disappear and you may feel better, but these medicines do not cure.
Symptoms are the body's only way of telling you that something is wrong or out of balance. The pain is your body's way to stop yourself from further injury and forces you to rest. The cough is the body trying to expel something from your lungs and the fever is one of the body's most vital means of fighting an infection.
