Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

YES / You cannot stop / without any doubt
The medicine does not treat the cause – it only controls the outcome
The cause is inherited (genetic) / modified by environment (food)
One does not switch off the engine of the car, when the car is running.
The level will return if you stop

Good luck
God bless you
