I just recently read an article titled, The Gray Hair “Cure“    http://www.more.com/2019/9487-gray-hair-cure  proclaiming that scientists are saying that a “cure” for gray hair is near. A cure?  Ok, first let’s look at the Webster’s definition of cure:  recovery or relief from a disease b : something (as a drug or treatment) that cures a disease. 

Have I missed something? When did gray hair become a disease? Now let’s look at the definition of disease: a condition of the living animal or plant body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms 3 : a harmful development.  Excuse me?! I don’t ever recall my hair assisting me in getting dressed, walking or talking before it turned gray in order for my “normal functioning” to be impaired.  My hair does have a tendency to frizz in humidity, would that be considered a “symptom”?  Now, I was somewhat emotionally traumatized when I went full gray, paranoid that everyone was looking at my hair. Would that be considered a “harmful development”? 

Here’s another article in Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/id/189136?digg=1. This one states, “Science gets closer to finding a way to reverse the graying process without hair color.” In other words, take a pill and your gray hair will go away! Do we really need another useless pill or injection for ”relief or recovery” from something that does not harm us?

Mark my word, the media will convince us that our gray hair is a disease needing to be cured and we will follow blindly to the bank to give the powers that be our money to cure us.

Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not comform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…~Romans 12:1-2
