Even if we removed the beings attacking us telepathically, we still might have a chemical imbalance that needed to be treated. This could be partially a spiritual problem and an illness. The question is which came first? I think it depends on the individual.
What you do to a person’s mind can manifest physically and do damage to the brain, and what you do to the body can affect the mind and do damage to it as well.
if you can be found to be schizophrenic by a mouth swab today and be givin an antibiotic to clear up the virus that causes the chromosome damage and still be brain damaged would you call it a cure?
