Control is the key for "negative" polarization - but it would be quite interesting to equate control with "service to self" in a direct manner. It is not that simple. Balance is not the total elimination of control, and total acceptance (the "positive" counterpart of control) can only be truly acceptance if it is not hiding behind a layer of a belief system that ultimately just wants to control as well.
The paradox is crucial in this. There is someone with a sickness, no matter how severe it is. All this material is available, all this food for thought, and the sickness perseveres - and one asks "why, oh why?". "Shall I accept it? Then it goes away!" is one way to go forward. But that is acceptance AND control bind together. It works or it does not work. "Shall I try to control it? Or hell, destroy it?" I see this mentality regarding to cancer as well. "Killing cancer" or "fighting cancer" are words that are having a powerful meaning. It is one way, leading to "god knows where". For some, it works, for some, it does not.
And then here we are, again, at the crossroads of Control and Acceptance. And one might say "f***, I give up. I am not able to control the outcome, I accept this." And that can be true acceptance. And then, the disease, having served its purpose, could go away freely. Or one could say: "I will strengthen my body in ways that I never bothered to do so before" - and go down in a positive way of control. And that might be a good way as well. It is not all black and white, no matter who spins it and how the spinning is going.
Regarding Gerson-diet, of course someone wants to capitalize on it. But honestly, I watched a video about that half a year ago, and ever since then, we have been dropping processed food more and more, and it is working. I understand Tenet, that you are emotionally invested in this whole matter of wordings and calling it cure or whatnot, but it really does not matter. What matters is that for MOST people, simply going to simpler foods can actually help you and your digestive system as well. Of course, if you have severe digestive problems already, you should be AWARE of that and not blindly accept anything as a "de facto Cure". But that is not the fault of those that try to capitalize on stuff like this, but it is the gullability of the individual that has certain consequences as well.
I understand that for me, anytime I decide to brag about something health-related, it is a call for my higher self to bring me a new set of body-related problems, just for the fun of it. So let us pray for Tenet
