The four kinds of physical health challenges: genetic, trauma, infectious disease and degenerative disease

[ThePythonicCow]

One of the things that frustrates me sometimes about purported remedies for health challenges is that a particular remedy will be presented almost as if it was -the- cure for whatever ails us, or a particular problem will be presented almost as if was -the- cause of whatever ails us.

By mental habit, I prefer to catalog and categorize.

A new Daily Bell article, Medicine's False Paradigm (http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/35955/Nelson-Hultberg-Medicines-False-Paradigm/), got me to thinking about this topic again - what sorts of ailments we suffer and what sorts of remedies we have available.

The article itself makes a clear distinction between infectious disease and degenerative disease. For this post, I am adding two other categories, trauma and genetic.

Mosquito bite - common cause of Malaria.
When one gets a serious wound that develops an acute infection, or when one is exposed to such infectious diseases as typhoid or malaria, which have specific germ causes that can overwhelm an otherwise healthy body, or when one (as in past centuries) dies after a child birth attended by a physician who had not scrubbed their hands after performing an autopsy earlier in the day, then one is dealing with an acute infection, for which proper cleaning of wounds and hands, and effective antibiotics, whether penicillin, ionic silver, or MMS, are the sorts of treatment I might seek out, at least in the cases where my body's own natural defenses are being overwhelmed.

Model of genetic inheritance of disease.
There are also some clearly identified genetic maladies, which track biological ancestry reliably across many generations, in frequency and detail very well explained by the genetic model. The specific DNA defects causing these maladies are presently being identified. The single gene disorders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_disorder#Single_gene_disorder) listed on Wikipedia look to me, offhand, to be a reliable list of just such disorders. One's choice of mating partner, and some random luck, are the main controlling factors here.

Piano falling on head - one (uncommon) source of traumatic injury.

A third kind of bodily harm comes from trauma, such as from being in a major auto accident, being thrown from a horse (more common in centuries past), knife or gunshot wound, or being hit in the head with a falling piano. Bandages, splints, tourniquets, stitches and other such repairs are welcome treatments in such cases, with prosthetic limbs and months of physical rehabilitation required in more severe cases.

Except for the suppression of ionic silver and MMS (too little profit in them, I suppose), the above three categories of ailments seem to be rather well understood and treated by conventional modern medicine.

Chronic illness
Chronic illness however, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and a thousand symptomatic variations, are not properly treated by conventional medicine; rather they are made worse by vaccines, drugs, chemotherapy, bogus nutritional guidance, radiation, surgery, root canals and mercury fillings, toxins in our food, water, air, cosmetics and elsewhere, nutritionally deficient diets, and numerous other causes.

The Daily Bell article, Medicine's False Paradigm (http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/35955/Nelson-Hultberg-Medicines-False-Paradigm/) that I linked above, and that got me started on this thread, goes into more detail on the mishandling of chronic illness by conventional medicine, and our failure to identify some of the common conditions underlying all such illnesses.

I suspect that that Daily Bell article fails to identify some of the common causes of chronic illness, such as toxic overload from vaccines and common dental treatments, and other nutritional deficiencies, such as insufficient healthy (not hydrogenated) fatty acids (oils.)

But its general drift I certainly agree with.

[The Truth Is In There]

different kinds ("acute", "chronic") of diseases are just different stages of a condition. the expression of a disease depends on the part of the spectrum that is currently acted out by a person. this corresponds to a certain behaviour on the mental, astral (emotional) and physical plane with the respective changes apparent in these bodies. the direction in the spectrum determines which expression of a condition is manifested next. the longer a condition lasts, the colder and more compressed it gets. the closer it is to resolution, the hotter and more expanded it gets. all diseases are first created in the mind and must be resolved in the mind before emotional and physical healing can take place. things done or happening in the physical are just a reflection of mental changes. mind acts fastest because it has the highest frequency. humans have yet to grasp the extent to which we create our own reality, diseases, accidents and deaths included.

Paul, thank you for providing us with that wonderful article. I found the concept of raw protein really very interesting, and had never read about the cat study, comparing raw and cooked protein.

I think the author is partially right when speaking of the success of antibiotics versus the utter failure of treating degenerative diseases..Although we are now seeing that the successes of antibiotics have come with a really high price tag ,namely loosing healthy gut flora and superbugs. I think that when we look at antibiotic treatment we are really doing the same thing as with degenerative disease, we are getting rid of symptoms. In some cases that is enough, but frequently the person became vulnerable due to failure of the immune system or another underlying problem, like PH imbalance. I have never seen an allopathic doctor look at systemic causes of infection, they just want to get rid of the symptoms of the infection, which means getting rid of the specific bugs causing infection.

I couldn't help making the mental comparison of big pharma with the snake oil salesmen of old. As a nurse I remember the persuasiveness of the pharmaceutical reps. Their techniques of flattery and the gifts, the lunches ,the paid "educational" trips to very desirable locals. I am so grateful to have stepped out of that environment

I think a major factor in modern medicine getting it wrong is this: bugs/germs/viruses et cetera...are not the underlying cause of disease. They are merely indicators that the proper environment is present for it's existing. An example: meat that has become rotten, will host maggots; the maggots didn't make the meat rotten, they are there because of the rot.

No mention of stress and emotional discord? These are major contributors to development of "disease".
