Thanks to Aloka-D for posting this excellent topic. I suffer from a serious illness that causes chronic pain. My current reflections focus on dukkha & kamma: Dukkha because there is a known cure for that; and kamma because that involves testing my behaviors, their antecedents and their consequences in relationship to my stress/suffering/discomfort/pain. A process a find very useful and scientific. In terms of philosophy of science, I'm partial to (but not attached to) Paul Karl Feyerabend's anarchistic view of science. Finally, the kind(s) of meditation and what is meant by "cure" and "disease" need to be clarified per in general here and more importantly per instance/individual.
