Top 10 Mysterious Diseases

There are many sicknesses doctors can cure with the swish of a pen across a prescription pad. But for all we understand now about some illnesses, there are even more that still stump the pros, confound the public and rage on uncontested.

AIDS



Twenty-five years since it was first identified, there is still no cure for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS remains among the world's most potent killers, especially in developing countries. The disease likely started with the virus jumping from a chimp to a human, recent research confirmed.

   I think Retinitis Pigmentosa and Usher's Syndrome are interesting.  I am convinced that these diseases are treatable, but also that the researchers are overlooking key details.

I AGREE THAT YOU CAN TAKE STREET DRUGS WHICH MESS WITH THE CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN AND CAUSE A TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT IMBALANCE. ECSTACY OR X CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE. THAT HAPPENED TO MY NIECE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT DRUGS SHE ABUSED BUT I HIGHLY SUSPECT X BECAUSE ALL OF THE SIGNS WERE THERE AFTER I EDUCATED MYSELF A BIT AND DID SELF RESEARCH.. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE HEREDITARY AND THEN ANOTHER FACTOR CAN BE DIET OR SOMETHING THAT A PERSON HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO  IN UTERO OR AFTER. I NOTICED A HIGH AMOUNT OF SUICIDES HAVE SOME KIND OF IMBALANCE AND PSYCIATRIC DRUGS CAN BE A POSSIBLE FACTOR AS WELL. IT IS SAD WHEN THEY DONT TAKE THEIR DRUGS IF THEY HELP TO KEEP THEM ON AN EVEN KEEL.

I have to say my and I have suffered with different stomache ailments , we lived on a farm for years, and we drank well water, she used to have the stomache attacks , it's just what we called them, she would bloat up like she was 9 months pregnant, she weighed 105 then, years later ,bleeding ulcer, after that she was finally diagnosed with h-pilori don't know if that is quite the right word. Then constant bladder problems could't go, cramping horribly , pain, antibiotics out the ears , OH !!then the anitbiotics for the H-Pilori, cured the bladder and her stomache almost, then the ibs constantly, MY Brother brought over a bottle of keefer for both of us!! She had diahrea for 2 months ,After 2 cups the ibs quit!!astonishing as it sounds,Your whole health depends on good digestive system, My brother has told everybody he knows with Ibs and stomache problems about and it has helped them all , no more than 6.00 try it you can by it at Hyvee , but other stores with the Health foods should have it, It truly is amazing , It puts back all the natural enzymes back in your stomache, She still suffers from the rashes , chronic pain, low thryoid, and other , but she did also find out that she is allergic to Niacin, go figure in preztels, chex mix, and the list goes on, also allergic to artifial sweeteners gives her the sores and she scratches till they are sores takes weeks for them to heal , Please if you have a rash do not use artificial sweetners,all of us kids have , low thyroid, fibro,hurting all the time.We are like everybody else,still trying to find answers ,still NOTOOLITTLE

Hi everyone! I am agree with notAmerican said, illness and the  Pharmacy is a big business. There is a lot of info about Morgellos in the web. One of this cause is the spraying of chemicals that plains named chemtrials do, is part of the world conspiracy to reduce the population, I do not know if you guys are familiar with this topic. Go to Jeffrense.com, prison planet Alex Jones, there is a lot of more... just go a read.

"My daughter has been diagnoised with paronoid Schizophrenia but her problem began from using street drugs. This is a major cause of the majority of people that are Schizophrenic. It is sad what they do to themselves even knowing and seeing what these drugs have done to others they believe they can handle it."

With all due respect, the majority of people with schizophrenia did not get it from street drugs.  There is a genetic component involved, these things tend to run in families and manifest in the late teens/early 20's.  My stepfather was schizophrenic and never touched a street drug and never drank anything stronger than a pina colada.  What DOES happen is that people start hallucinating or exhibiting other symptoms and start with drugs or drinking in an attempt to self medicate and younger people tend to do that with drugs.

My daughter has been diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia but her problem began from using street drugs. This is a major cause of the majority of people that are Schizophrenic. It is sad what they do to themselves even knowing and seeing what these drugs have done to others they believe they can handle it. The meds the doctor had her on made her worse. The mental clinics use their patients as guinea pigs. They prescribe the same meds for all patients.

I have also been going to a non-traditional "wellness doctor" only to be told I need more and more therapies, more supplements - I was up to 21 when I finally told him to STOP.  All of these supplements and remedies were available to purchase from him - each visit was approximately $100 - $250.00.   After two months, and no improvement in my health,   I'm back to my normal - eat right, exercise, take multi-vitamin.   I'll read more, watch the remedies on youtube (from doctors, etc.) and work on getting myself better.
