One Way to Understand Sickness
Much sickness and many diseases are new and not well understood.
Sickness presents a symptom pattern plus results on tests and scans. These become the clinical signs of inflammation, stresses, deficiencies and imbalances, they help with the name (diagnosis) and needed remedies.
But effective resolution of many syndromes is often elusive. So we have to know more and search deeper.
Historical Timeline
One way to understand an illness is to put it on the historical timeline. There are three significant periods.
- All the new diseases and syndromes that appeared from the time of Victorian England until after World War 1.
- Diseases and syndromes that appeared from the 1960’s in Western nations
- The surge in neurological and immune disorders after the late 1980’s.
The decades before and after the turn of the 20th Century experienced systematic medical use of elemental metals, particularly mercury and arsenic. The aluminium age began with the first industrial smelting. There were widespread spraying programs against pestilent moths and insects with arsenic, lead and copper based sprays which were also used liberally on food crops (later replaced with DDT). They caused nervous system damage, often presenting as possible viral disease like polio. It was also the time when infectious diseases were in massive decline due to sewage systems, fresh piped water and modern transport bringing fresh food into the cities.
The 1960’s brought medically inspired government campaigns to change out all the traditional dietary fats for industrial seed oils along with the corporatisation of food production.
The late 1980’s saw the beginning of full-schedule mass vaccination programs.
Many syndromes and diseases relate to metals, microbes and chronic mineral deficiencies. The toxin of this era is glyphosate which negatively affects mineral balance.
Who named the disease – when, where and why?
Many diseases are named after the doctor or scientist who first codified the signs and symptoms. The date the disease appeared can be put into the timeline for more insight into understanding it.
