Our current so-called Healthcare system monetizes treatment, not cures. They make their money on treating you, not on getting you well, keeping you well or preventing problems. Unsurprisingly, we have a lot of chronic ailments -- because that's where the money is. The wounds that don't want to heal for diabetes patients grow out of a general deterioration of the body chemistry generally. If we had a clearer idea of exactly where things go wrong, preventing the chemical states which foster wounds that don't heal would be a superior method. Once the general body chemistry has deteriorated that far, fixing the current wound is merely fixing the presenting problem. It points to a much larger problem, one which will likely keep fostering new wounds that are resistant to healing and this general deterioration is likely to eventually kill them.
