As we already have seen that pain, vomiting and fever are not diseases but just symptoms there are plenty of symptoms we can list out. In fact all the uneasiness a patient mentions are just symptoms. And symptoms gives an idea that our body has a problem. Patients add adjectives with symptoms like great pain, severe fever etc. But the pain and fever are symptoms or uneasiness you me and patients can appreciate and convey each other, but are not definitely the DISEASE. Patients narration should be heard but not taken as such as disease, they only know to express their concern. We are the ones who should compile these symptoms and trace out the exact disease. But now you can realize that we know nothing more than a patient if intention of our treatment is towards covering up superficially only the symptoms.
At least Doctors need to understand this. Young Scientific medical practitioners won’t understand this as they are not trained so and the pseudoscientists who already know these facts don’t believe this. Veteran doctors will simply stand with the motion as they already have realized this.( https://www.facebook.com/reel ) A1
Pain killer for headache, sinusitis toothache osteoarthritis , antipyretic for fever, ointments for mouth ulcers, piles and eczema, oil for dandruff oedema etc.
Laxatives we think are treatment for constipation but when we stop medication bowel movements stop. The laxative irritate the mucous glands inside the lumens of intestine to elicit secretion. This may give result till the dose expires but the condition reverse again. Symptoms are not diseases and killing and stuffing them is not treatment. This is not treatment. This is not the correct philosophy of treatment. This is not the correct philosophy of disease. We need a better philosophy. We really have one which the pseudoscientists learn but they are in a hurry to become scientists.
Physicians who are trained and has the skill to understand the philosophy of health, disease and medicine can precipitate cure.
