Q: a have a couple symptoms of a disease..do i have to have all of them to be diagnosed with that disease?

A: Absolutely not. Symptoms are subjective and very between men, women and even individuals in those groups. To truly diagnose a disease, you look at the objective data (blood work, x-rays, physical exam) and the symptoms.

Can you talk yourself into thinking you have symptoms of disease?

Q: I have been tested for diabetes and do not have it, however I still feel like I do. I test my blood sugar obsessively everyday (like 10 times or more a day) to see what my blood sugar level is and it is always fine. Now, I’m thinking I have excessive thirst. I have a lot of saliva in my mouth all the time and I don’t know if that’s what’s causing me to think I’m thirsty. I just feel like I look at the symptoms of diabetes and start to think I have them. I felt like my hand was tingling, but I was told by the doctor that is because I have carpal tunnel. I don’t urinate a lot, but I do feel like I’m thirsty. Again, I know it’s not diabetes, but I keep thinking it is. Do you think you can believe you have the symptoms of a disease like diabetes so much that you begin to have them even when you don’t? Meaning, do you think I could be thinking I’m excessively thirsty because I think I have diabetes, even when I know I don’t?

Can you believe that this person is saying that the Germ Theory of Disease is wrong?

Q: This person says below,”For well over a century, the Western world has consistently upheld a belief-system (or mind-set) that disease indiscriminately attacks humankind from outside of themselves, and that they live their lives as apparent victims of invisible germs against which they have little defense (except for the so-called magic of Western science and the mystique that surrounds the commercialized medical/pharmaceutical technology).This pervasive cultural belief-system extends all the way back to the 17th century with the onset of a Cartesian/Newtonian mechanical and reductionistic* viewpoint of the human body, as well as humanity’s overall relationship with the universe. This reductionistic approach towards investigating and understanding the physical organism and its relationship to health and disease usually involves a further division of the body into as many parts as possible. Each of these body parts are then analyzed separately (under “medical specialization”) in the belief that a greater comprehension of the entire human anatomy will eventually occur. Many 19th and 20th century beliefs can be traced back directly to these 17th century assumptions about health and disease, such as: 1. The human body is merely a biological machine. 2. There is an “in here” inside the body and an “out there” outside the body that are separate and quite distinct from one another. 3. Disease is a separate organism unto itself, or a foreign and hostile entity that is separate from a human being, and capable of entering and causing harm to a physical body. 4. Illness is a calamity that strikes from outside of the body, and must be endured with the assistance of palliative* medications. 5. Health is merely the absence of disease symptoms. 6. As with disease, healing occurs independently of the mind, emotions and human consciousness. 7. The level of health depends upon the quality of medicine. 8. Health (or the healing process) occurs as a result of what someone (or something) does for us (or to us), rather than what we do for ourselves.”http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/germ4.php

So where she got her “SPECIAL” knowledge from? From here:”One of the first websites I discovered was the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), who had the most influence on my thinking and education about health and nutrition.”But to be sure not to be sued! She say:”No responsibility is assumed by the author nor anyone connected with this website”Of curse not!
