Why do we get sick? - HowStuffWorks - 2 views

  • As an example, think of a person who has a cold. That person may cough into his or her hand and then touch a doorknob, thus placing the cold virus on that doorknob. The virus may die on the doorknob, but it's also possible that the next person to touch the doorknob will pick it up. If that person then touches food with the unwashed hand and consumes the food, the virus is now inside the body.
  • The earliest physicians thought that illness and disease were a sign of God's anger or the work of evil spirits. Hippocrates and Galen advanced the concept of humorism, a theory which held that we get sick from imbalances of the four basic substances within the human body, which they identified as blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. Paracelsus, a Renaissance-era physician, was one of the first to posit that sickness comes from outside sources, rather than from within.Today, we know that there are two major kinds of diseases: infectious and non-infectious.

      For example, if a person has gotten a cold and sneezes into their hand, then suddenly they touch the light switch, They leave the cold there, it may also be that the cold virus dies there, but it may also be that the next person who touches the light switch gets it in their hands. If they go to eat, and they don't wash their hands and they touch what they are going to eat they get it in their mouth and now they have the cold.

Why Do We Get Sick? | The Gilead Institute - 1 views

  • The disease process started long before it was diagnosed. It can start as long as ten or twenty years before you know you have the disease. Usually the disease process starts when a sufficient amount of factors come together to start you down the road to having a diagnosable disease.
  • If the disease process continues uninterrupted, eventually it will come to a point where you will be officially diagnosed with a disease.

How do broken bones heal? - HowStuffWorks - 0 views

  • If you experience engine trouble, you take your car to a mechanic. If your pipes leak, you call a plumber. And if you fracture a leg, the usual course of action is to visit a doctor. But unlike other things that may break in life, bones begin healing on their own before you even set foot in a waiting room.The human body possesses amazing healing powers that enable it to bounce back from a vast array of illnesses and injuries. Sometimes broken bones can heal so thoroughly within a few months that even an x-ray can't determine the original fracture line.Doctors often play a vital, sometimes lifesaving, role in a bone's healing process. But, these experts basically help the body heal itself. Doctors provide optimal conditions for bone repair and healing to take place. The rest is up to your cells.But how does this amazing biological process work? How can a fractured limb grow back to its former strength? To understand, you first have to take a closer look at just what bones are made of and how alive they really are.
