Sick Health

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When you have a cold or allergies, and your nose is stuffy, you might notice that your food doesn't seem to have much flavor. That's because the upper part of your nose isn't clear to receive the chemicals that trigger the olfactory receptors (that inform the brain and create the sensation of flavor).

      When you're sick and your nose is "stuffy" you may notice that the food that you eat doesn't have much flavor. Thats because the upper part of the nose doesn't receive the chemicals that lets the brain know how the food tastes. That's why you may not find that kind of strong flavor in your food.

  • We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn't physically active during active sleep. Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.
  • Sleepwalking may run in families and sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or is stressed.
