Stretch out one of your arms. Make sure that you got no injuries. Now ask your friend to hit on your hand with some heavy thing. After getting the hit just look at the spot. You feel the pain. Harder the hit bigger the pain.
Now you can understand that there was no pain till you were hit. The damage the hit has made is not visible to you or your friend, but you can certainly appreciate the pain.
Now what about a renal stone or gallbladder stone. These gain a certain size and later stages show the classical pain. This does not mean that the disease commenced with the pain.
In both these examples we understand that the pain was merely a symptom. It gives us an idea that a disease at such an such place needs attention. In the second case the pain is just a sensation and has nothing to do with the disease AT ALL. It is the cutting pain when the renal stone moves or the gallbladder is inflamed.
Likewise all the symptoms and signs found in a person at a time of crises need not be of the disease.
For example in acute sinusitis you may see runny nose, nasal obstruction, headache and fever. Here runny nose is a good sign showing that the thick discharge is slowly draining and the congestion might subside right now. Head ache is just a sensation and may be a representation of congestion and pressure at the site. Fever shows there is an infection or inflammation.
Attacking all these symptoms together is really a mistake and precisely mere ignorance of mankind. Preserve nasal discharge and give medicine for infection would be a better idea, but we don’t have such a protocol. Prior to that we have already forced to believe that nasal discharge and fever are deadly diseases.
In severe to mild osteoarthritis where joints show inflammation, diminished synovial fluid, blood supply and nutrients the damage to various extend elicits proportional pains and the patients complains of this sensation and has no concern or knowledge about the pathology. But the doctor again showing the same low level intellect as that of an ignorant patient treats the case so as to relieve the pain. The real disease remains untouched an gets even worse over time.
In several higher profile diseases there are many symptoms and signs which the doctors have put under high risk category but in reality are ones that represents recovery or adaptation of our body to tackle the present body crisis.
In food poisoning diarrhea and vomiting are protective signs.
In fact all vomiting are good for health but the disease in the background need to be traced treated or managed.
In diabetes, Increased blood sugar level is a compensatory mechanism to meet the diminished sugar supply to organs and extremities and the real cause would never be unveiled by science/let known to the public if at all found.
Knowledge is the master but the student has to have a clear vision and unprejudiced open sense not biased by any of the previous knowledges. Since health and health issues persist in a good proportion we should realize that there is a huge mistake in our interpretations on health. Hence there is a great opportunity to solve several questions. But only the Pseudo scientists can put light in to this matter and give light to the world as no other science can define disease any further. But the worry is that a pretty heavy number of pseudo scientists do not identify their strength and want to be scientific where the health science itself has lost their way and aim loosing their compass.
