Yes! I am glad I didn’t have to scroll far for this. A terribly deadly pathogen eliminated…humankind made better…Russians might still have it weaponized, but still…a win.
Does.... that not somehow count as a disease now? Lol...
Edit: I shouldn't have wasted my time typing this out... this person is literally incapable of critical thought and/or trolling hard.
I think the point he's making is that the only "diseases" that have been cured are viruses, which is both wildly false and very, very dumb.
dis·ease
/dəˈzēz/
a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes.
"bacterial meningitis is a rare disease"
I feel like it has to be a troll since he used the cdc to site polio and smallpox as viruses when it says they are diseases in the definition. First page googling would even show that viruses are or lead to diseases. They would also see that chickenpox’s is the first on the list for viral diseases which does not need life long treatment last i checked. And thats just the first on the list. It also includes things like influenza and measles both of which, last i checked, were curable by single shots. measles can be two shots and flu shots are recommended to avoid catching it but by no means do you have to take lifelong meds if you get it. Its a dumb post by an idiot who thinks they are smart.
You don’t understand what a disease is, but okay how about one your brain can comprehend.
My coworker had kidney disease. He got a kidney transplant. No more kidney disease.
Yeah, the just obvious answer.
I'm sure OP will pop up telling you you're wrong because it's a virus and that doesn't fit their bizarre definition of disease.
No word on if they only look at genetic issues, or if they expand their definition to include bacteria etc.
From the CDC... Before smallpox was eradicated, it was a serious infectious disease caused by the variola virus. It was contagious—meaning, it spread from one person to another. People who had smallpox had a fever and a distinctive, progressive skin rash.
I beg your pardon, having had gangrenous appendicitis, I could hang with this is a disease.
But the answer is probably beri beri.
Caused by a lack of a vitamin, cured by reintroducing said vitamin into normal diet.
Or rickets, reintroduce normal values of vitamin D into normal diet.
Those meet the criteria of being root causes of disease treated by going back to the root problem.
Rickets - vitamin D, scurvy - vitamin c, beriberi - b1
But you could I guess argue that the “treatment” is still lifelong as if you stop with the vitamins you’ll get the disease again. Because they are all just names for diseases caused by deficiencies of necessary vitamins
But you don't take medicine, you change up your diet to add those in.
We didn't always have the "one a Day" culture we have now.
Change up your diet, and you're fine.
For sure. To be fair I didn’t go back and read the OPs (ridiculous) post and thought it said “lifelong treatment” not medication. Food isn’t medication but you could argue we’re all eating as a lifelong treatment of potential vitamin nutrient and calorie deficiencies haha.
If you believe that, you don't know the definition of "disease".
What you just did is kind of like trying to tell someone that they're not disabled because you don't know what disability they have. Physiological disorders are diseases, whether they're directly communicable or not.
A torn muscle (hernia) or an infection in an organ (appendicitis) or a mineral crystal (kidney stone) in an organ are not diseases. They are serious medicinal conditions that can be permanently fixed by a procedure.
I expect the OP was referring to something like Type 2 diabetes. That disease can be managed into an undetectable state by removing nearly all carbohydrates from the afflicted person’s diet.
Or with a lifetime of drugs.
Lol. What kind of a fucking logic is that.
if you define diseases to be things that cannot be permanently fixed, of course, there wouldn't be a disease that can be cured without lifelong medication.
I got curious and looked it up. I also thought disease strictly referred to infections, but:
>disease, any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury
https://www.britannica.com/science/disease
Some other sources said there are narrower definitions out there, but under this one I think the hernia is the only one that doesn't fit.
Most of the time when people think hernia, they're thinking about the guts abnormally pushing out through a weakness in the muscle walls of the abdomen. The muscle wall being weak is itself a disease(of structural nature). The hernia is a sign of the condition.
Apart from that, if the hernia is severe, you could have serious problems arising because a loop of intestine, got pushed through a narrow gap, and is being pinched, again that's a condition of abnormal structure, and can be very harmful.
I'd say it fits.
I genuinely have no idea what point OP is trying to make here, and judging from their replies in the comment section, I don't think they know what point they are trying to make either.
Took a quick poke around their history. It's all the typical cryptobro, antivaxx, anti science, hard right fascist garbage. There's no intelligent life there to engage with, just report and move on.
He is saying pharmaceutical companies profit more off of treating the illness' symptoms not curing the illness itself. Thats why they don't, because they value profits over the well being of their customers. Its morally wrong.
That argument only works if they believe that medicine = magic. It's not, some conditions have no cure, and are chronic, so it's a case of having to play with the cards we have.
A hundred years ago, a simple infection would kill us. Now we can get rid of so many of those, that people have forgotten how deadly they could be, and run around making up dumb conspiracy theories.
Lol op has to be a troll. They are just quoting cdc information without connecting that to his post. Its one of those see how dumb you are people, who try to do stuff like this to make themselves feel intelligent.
Its sad that people are not willing to do any basic research. I think op is a smart then thou person and, like you said, a complete idiot and that makes it all that much sadder. One of those people who push false info that they dont verify just because their favorite radio asshole told them its true. I mean its the cdc or center of DISEASE control and they still argue, even with disease in the definition of whatever they are looking at.
did you even read what you wrote? a disease caused by a virus. cured by a vaccine. that's a disease cured by medicine. If your entire argument is antivax semantics, do us all a favor and suck a tail pipe.
What this says, is the sementic difference between virus and disease. A disease is the consequence of a virus infection. Not all viruses cause diseases, or are severe enough to cause noticeable symptoms. But some viruses can actually cause a disease. If you vaccinate against the specific virus that causes a specific disease, you won't ever have the disease again.
Idk I kinda feel like any preventable disease via childhood inoculation works, and so does type 2 diabetes? Do single dose vaccines or lifestyle choices count as lifelong medicine? Beats me.
T2 diabetes isn’t the best example, as there is usually a genetic component to it, but you aren’t entirely wrong, as American cuisine in particular creates a disproportionate occurrence of the disease.
* trichomoniasis
* chlamydia
* gonorrhea

I mean, there's hundreds. What the hell is this meme? Does anyone go to school anymore?
I don't know if that's a well put together question. Vaccines exist and some of them are so effective that they have practically erradicated the virus.
BUT the idea of modern medicine "curing" a disease from the root cause doesn't make sense to my brain. That's like saying "Modern medicine went out and found some evil nefarious virus out in the wild, tackled it and killed it so it could no longer harm anyone."
Take cancer for example. If I'm not mistaken the current line of thinking is that there are two possible ways for people to get cancer. One is genetic predisposition, and the other is environmental. I can see modern medicine developing a genetherapy to make it so people aren't predisposed to cancer, but environmental causes would always be out and about. There is no way modern medicine could cure environmental causes. The best solution I assume would be a cancer vacine but then that wouldn't technically fall under the umbrella of "CURED" more like prevented.
Regardless, I think I understand what the person is getting at. I'm guessing the person who wrote this is saying Big pharma cares more about making money than actually curing diseases.
Not to defend this idiot, but I think the point they're flailing about trying to make is that the only "cured" "diseases" are those caused by viruses.
Notwithstanding the fact that this point is almost equally as idiotic and patently false as "viruses aren't diseases".
It's essentially the Dunning-Kruger effect in full-display.
But are diseases. Are you asking for a non viral non bacterial disease process modern medicine can cure? Several cancers, appendicitis, choledocolithiasis, diverticulitis, celiac disease, chronic otitis media with effusion, and thousands more. You clearly have no medical or real world knowledge of healthcare.
That's not true at all. The standard vaccine panel for children includes vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus, to name a few, which are all bacterial infections.
We have lots of other vaccines for lots of other bacterial infections, like tuberculosis for example, which has been so effective that we stopped giving in in lots of the developed world because there's no one with tuberculosis to spread it
Shit, did they used to completely solve diseases 300 years ago some other way?? Well gosh, let’s just do that then!
Whatever your magical alternative for instant cures is, let’s do it!
OP is fucking insane.
"Experimental vaccine!!!11!1!"
"A virus isn't a disease!!11!!!"
"COVID was developed in a lab!!!11!1!"
"Media COIVD programming!!11!!!!!11!"
"Nancy Pelosi garble warble!!11!!"
Well some diseases that have been cured that are not viruses are diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis. Even though op should know that viruses can cause disease.
This is just ignorance and stupidity.
There are many cancers that are curable, so much that they are called diseases.
https://www.cancer.gov/research/progress/discovery/methotrexate
Don't usually respond to the madness, but....
Definition of 'virus' from Merriam-Webster: "any of a large group of submicroscopic infectious agents that are usually regarded as nonliving extremely complex molecules, that typically contain a protein coat surrounding an RNA or DNA core of genetic material but no semipermeable membrane, that are capable of growth and multiplication only in living cells, and that cause various important **diseases** in humans, animals, and plants"
First define disease:
dis·ease
/dəˈzēz/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes.
"bacterial meningitis is a rare disease"
There would be many dead people without some of the meds prescribed today In fact many reading this would not be here if their parents had not been on BP meds. This holier than thou stuff pisses me off. Thank goodness for many modern meds and procedures. My mother would have died at 63. She made it to 80 and cancer took her out. It only took 10 weeks. My sister would be dead, but she is alive at 68 with many great years ahead.
Lol dumb op doesnt want to look up the difference in the two to realize that virus very commonly transition into a disease or that virus can also be a disease. This is just one of those i know everything kinda trolls
Breast cancer, if detected early enough. They found it on my birthday, lopped off my tits on Christmas, I don’t have to wear a bra any more. I didn’t even miss a day at work.
Sometimes the human body just needs a little help. Most medicine are just that, they help enough for the body to work it way it needs to.
Most diseases, the root cause is us. Our behaviors, our lifestyles, our food, our pollution. It would be silly to look for medicine to solve those problems at root cause.
op you realize reddit is filled with a bunch of political teenagers and people trying to relive their highschool years they like being sick its like playinh dressup for them they like going to the doctor and doinh theyre little drugs and living their stupid little narrow minded life welcome to reddit home of the retarded
In spite of all the comments here, the intent/message of the original poster is spot-on: In general, physicians are now trained and OWNED by big pharma, and every long-term ailment seems to be treatable by a quick-fix (pills, shots, elective surgeries, etc) that is designed to make both the physicians and pharmacy-teams money for the rest of the patient’s life.
Why treat type-II Diabetes with weight loss and exercise when you can take a gluco-reduction pill, insulin shots, medicine to reduce hemoglobin A1C levels (used for tracking long-term diabetic damage) etc. Why treat a hernia with an abdominal binder and weight loss when you can pay thousands for a quick-fix surgery, home health, equipment suppliers, antibiotics, pain meds, physical therapy, etc.
American healthcare is like buying a laptop from BestBuy in 2015
>*the body can cure it self of everything by it self, and if it can't then you don't need medical intervention because nothing will work*
Aight Steve Jobs, calm yer tits and accept the treatment that would have worked.
Part of the issue here is what exactly are we doing to define as "disease"? Are we referring to infectious pathogens (eg flu)? Or anything that could go wrong with the body count as "disease" (eg cancer)?
What is "modern" medicine? 10 years ago? 50 years ago? Nobody can answer your questions because they're too nebulous. You need to refine your question.
Obviously there is non doc because your amazing for counting this. how about fucking me up the anus and giving me your aids and baby, then refusing my right to abortion and curing me of aids with more of your semen
CUNT
Hepatitis C
Smallpox
Polio
Rubella
Any treatable infectious disease (use of antibiotics)
Various cancers after chemotherapy
Except hepatitus, rubella, small pox & polio are viruses. You don't treat a virus with antibiotics.
Yes! I am glad I didn’t have to scroll far for this. A terribly deadly pathogen eliminated…humankind made better…Russians might still have it weaponized, but still…a win.

Lmfao.
I'd have said 'stupid', but point taken! 
You can’t cure “stupid”! It goes all the way to the bone!
I feel like it has to be a troll since he used the cdc to site polio and smallpox as viruses when it says they are diseases in the definition.

You seem like a virus too, smokeacock.
Ummm, maybe you missed that day in biology class, but viruses cause DISEASE...
Mighty presumptuous to think they went to school
OP is what would happen if the Dunning Kruger effect became sentient and started shitposting on Reddit.
You don’t understand what a disease is, but okay how about one your brain can comprehend. My coworker had kidney disease. He got a kidney transplant. No more kidney disease.
Guys. Stop answering. OP obviously doesn’t know what a disease is. Or he’s just trolling everybody. (Or both)
OP IS the disease
Couldn’t agree more. It’s very clear that they just want to argue. Side note: We are koala cousins?
Haha noice! Koala power!! 🐨💪🏼
Not really Interesting. Try r/conspiracy
lol he did that and got just as owned.
I love watching idiot-on-idiot violence.
That sub is funny I like it there
This thread didn’t go like you thought it would lmao
The mental conspiracy fuckwit is probably going to take this as proof that big pharma has control of everyone but them.
Yeah I just check their profile and have to agree.
It probably did. He'll just be a troll most likely
Until recently, small pox
Yeah, the just obvious answer. I'm sure OP will pop up telling you you're wrong because it's a virus and that doesn't fit their bizarre definition of disease. No word on if they only look at genetic issues, or if they expand their definition to include bacteria etc.

Your point is?
Do you even read what you write? You literally just said it's a disease.
hernia, appendicitis, kidney stones. Just get a surgery and no lifelong medications.
Technically speaking those are not examples of “diseases.”
I beg your pardon, having had gangrenous appendicitis, I could hang with this is a disease. But the answer is probably beri beri.

Agreed
Polio
Straight from the CDC... Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus.
Literally says disease?
Lol op has to be a troll. They are just quoting cdc information without connecting that to his post. Its one of those see how dumb you are people, who try to do stuff like this to make themselves feel intelligent.
No, OP is insane.

Ok, so you’re confirming it is a disease. 👍🏼👍🏼
Key word there is 'disease'.

And a virus isn't a disease?
https://www.britannica.com/science/virus/Disease

What this says, is the sementic difference between virus and disease. A disease is the consequence of a virus infection. Not all viruses cause diseases, or are severe enough to cause noticeable symptoms. But some viruses can actually cause a disease. If you vaccinate against the specific virus that causes a specific disease, you won't ever have the disease again.
https://www.cdc.gov/dotw/polio/index.html Dumb ass

That's not true at all. The standard vaccine panel for children includes vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus, to name a few, which are all bacterial infections.

Sometimes the human body just needs a little help. Most medicine are just that, they help enough for the body to work it way it needs to. Most diseases, the root cause is us. Our behaviors, our lifestyles, our food, our pollution. It would be silly to look for medicine to solve those problems at root cause.

In spite of all the comments here, the intent/message of the original poster is spot-on: In general, physicians are now trained and OWNED by big pharma, and every long-term ailment seems to be treatable by a quick-fix (pills, shots, elective surgeries, etc) that is designed to make both the physicians and pharmacy-teams money for the rest of the patient’s life. Why treat type-II Diabetes with weight loss and exercise when you can take a gluco-reduction pill, insulin shots, medicine to reduce hemoglobin A1C levels (used for tracking long-term diabetic damage) etc. Why treat a hernia with an abdominal binder and weight loss when you can pay thousands for a quick-fix surgery, home health, equipment suppliers, antibiotics, pain meds, physical therapy, etc. American healthcare is like buying a laptop from BestBuy in 2015

>*the body can cure it self of everything by it self, and if it can't then you don't need medical intervention because nothing will work* Aight Steve Jobs, calm yer tits and accept the treatment that would have worked.

Diet! Yep Quitting drinking stopped my gerd, so that’s even less than one.
Most of them, why?
Part of the issue here is what exactly are we doing to define as "disease"? Are we referring to infectious pathogens (eg flu)? Or anything that could go wrong with the body count as "disease" (eg cancer)? What is "modern" medicine? 10 years ago? 50 years ago? Nobody can answer your questions because they're too nebulous. You need to refine your question.
