Since both the physical and the subtle body are intertwined a vamp should be incouraged to live a healthy life style since damage on one effects the other (I opologise for not posting all of this together,having cell phone problems here, as usual :/ )

Vampirism is genetic,
not just spiritual.
I don't believe trauma from past lives
would inflict the disease itself,
however it may contribute to it
since vampirism has been known to skip generations
often without a specific pattern.
In which case therapy would be a potential cure.

Therapy as in some sort of treatment. Genetic hmmm... Well I dont know how you'll comfirm that unless you're a scientist with the proper tools but hey good luck

Regardless,
I already know I can't cure the whole thing.
For now I am focusing on the need to feed.
I already tried one potential cure,
we will know in two weeks or so whether or not it worked.
Okay, my acupuncture professors would probably give me a big ol' *eye roll* for relating vampirism to acupuncture, but i think it makes total sense:
(Disclaimer: i know nothing about "real" vampirism, if such a thing exists; i think a lot of vampire this-and-that is youthful foolishness.)
BUT... I do know firsthand that there are people who feed off others' energy field (the point of this conversation, right?). This is a pathology, not something desirable, and obviously points to a disfunction in a person's energetic anatomy. A person's body *should* generate and circulate all the energy it needs to thrive from itself and from the surrounding environment without feeding on the energy of another person.
This is basically what acupuncturists (and other energy healers) seek to correct, in one form or degree or another. By manipulating a person's energy field (chi, aura, meridians, chakras, etc.) we are working on repatterning malignant phenomenon, tonifying deficiencies, and reining-in energetic "overflows."
If someone is an energetic vampire, that means one or more of their energetic "inboxes" is malfunctioning. They are not allowing environmental chi in and/or they are not processing their own chi internally. Many times they have a not-so-porous auric field or they have blockages in one or several of their main energy gates (bottom of feet, perineum, top of head, hands).
These energetic patterns can be corrected by a trip (or really many trips) to your local friendly acupuncturist, medical qigong practitioner, kundalini yoga master, or etheric surgeon. They are the trained professionals adept enough to fix and repattern energetic "vampirism." There are other things a person can do on their own as well, but being an energetic "vampire" is a serious bummer (we all know those types, very draining) and is something worth seeking professional help.
Maybe this is a cure for vampirism? Shall i ask my professors?

Dae, if I may say so, you yourself have inherently called the affliction a genetic disorder. Is it possible that it could be a series of genetic mishaps, for example:
Symptom 1: A sensitivity to light can occur with many natural human genes, its actually quite common
Symptom 2: The need to feed, or drink blood, could be derived from a need for oxygen. With what little experience I have with such beings, do not take my word for fact, but many vampiric humans have a tendency to lose there breath or breath deep and heavy. Blood has one of the highest oxygen concentrations, thus this could explain that. Fangs may deal with natural selction.
Symptoms 3&4: Are as you said simply behavioural patterns and can be easily reversed unless vampires have reversed circadian clocks. This would cause them to be nocturnal. And being grumpy and anti-social could be a hormone problem.
If Vampirism is truly a genetic disorder than it may not be curable. Just speculations though, so don't take my word for it.

LdtGry, thank you very much for posting that.
You may ask them if you like,
but my theory was already along those lines.
I'm testing a potential cure from this theory even now. :)
Xoros, not a genetic disorder,
just a genetic inheritance.
Possibly called a disorder
although I think of it as a disease.
The problem isn't oxygen for the blood.
If it were then feeding off other people's energy directly
would not be an alternative for the non-blood drinking vamps.
Raven, I think DNA testing would be required
for confirmation of vampirism,
but there are various variables that they can't confirm.
For example,
the flaw in the flow of energy.
We don't have the equipment to monitor that.
Thus they can't confirm the blood drinking is required
and they may consider it a mental thing.

Like I said, I have virtually no experience with vampirism, so I wouldn't know. And genetic inheritance means it is encoded in the genome. There is a change of coding somewhere that causes this disease. If there is, gene therapy may help the victim.

I remember reading something about those. I'm pretty sure they just read the overall charge of particles in your body and associate it with a color. Don't think they actually work.

They work.
I've seen one of those used on someone wearing a crystal
and the crystal had an aura too.
I thought that was very interesting,
a camera that can also catch the auras of crystals.
