The concept of "disease" has no definitive definition. Jacalyn Duffin, a doctor and medical historian, says that diseases are ideas, and that there are good ideas and bad ideas. Diseases aren't solid things that we possess but ways of thinking about processes in our bodies and these ways of thinking change over time. In other words whether one thinks of lchf as a cure for diabetes or a way to put diabetes into remission doesn't really matter as long as we clearly state what we mean when we use the chosen term.
Like Ken, I owe my success on the WOE to a large extent by thinking of sugar or high carb substances as poisons rather than food. I do not willingly ingest poison.
