When treating a patient with insulin we aim at lowering blood glucose to its non-diabetic level, which might be harmful since it lowers tolerance. The diabetic norm might require a slightly elevated blood sugar. Since only the healing force adjusts components of the organism normatively, normative treatment can be achieved only by assisting the healing force. This is the main therapeutic implication of the healing force concept. In order to apply it we ought to explore ways of measuring the healing force.
Science provides a means for dealing with vague concepts like the healing force.
Gravity, for instance, is as obscure as the healing force. Its intensity can be deduced from its effect on the motion of objects. Given a body with a mass m whose velocity is constant, a force F accelerates the velocity of m by a. This equation links an obscure force with a measurable effect, acceleration. The greater acceleration the stronger the force and vice-versa.
