Hypothyroidism Treatment : In infectious diseases the man with the microscope was fortunate. He could see the invading disease germ. But in certain diseases, such as cancer and arteriosclerosis, he saw tissue changes, but no germ. And the "functional diseases," the gastric disturbances, the asthmas, the heart seizures, were still more baffling. The miscroscope failed to reveal either germ or cellular change; the malfunctioning organ persisted in remaining physically normal and healthy.
Dedicated scientists hoped that they would one day discover the physiological cause of the tissue changes in the one group of diseases, and that with still more refined technique and still more sensitive instruments they would see tissue changes to account for the abnormal behavior of the organ in the second. But for the answers to these two physiological mysteries, the organic and the functional disease, the man with the microscope is still seeking in vain.

In brief, the thought of emotional factors possessing any causal relationship to illness had no practical significance for me. Despite Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain or Dumas' Camille, despite lectures by various psychoanalysts, I would have rejected flatly any suggestion that a disease like tuberculosis could have been brought on by emotional conflict.
ReplyDeleteThe intimations of poets and writers I dismissed as "interesting" but fictional and therefore incompatible with the demands of scientific reality. Psychoanalytical theories also seemed to me at that time too farfetched for serious consideration. My approach differed in no respect from that of a majority of physicians: that tuberculosis is, after all, an infectious disease, that it is caused by a specific bacillus, and that it is transmitted by contact.
We have known this since 1882 when Koch presented his epochal discovery of the tubercle bacillus at a short and dramatic meeting of the Berlin Medical Society. In the last eighty years a mass of research has been accumulated on this disease, but little change has been made in the conclusions drawn by Koch from his original investigations.
ReplyDeleteLater, when I had gained more insight into the emotional dynamics of disease, it was as if a curtain had been raised. Rereading the medical literature, I found much to question, much that was contradictory, much i hat seemed one-sided, even superficial.

ReplyDeleteYeast Infection : It turned out that a man rising from the first rays of the sun in order to do morning exercises or early to come to work, probably put it as gently Japanese doctors, does not benefit their health. On the contrary - such a person greatly increases the risk of vascular disease and heart, believe Japanese specialists.
