The human body: Between 10 to 30 thousand deseases possible. Cheers.

[swissie]

Depending on statistics (medical findings), between 10 to 30 thousand different deseases can befall a human body. It's a miracle that we have survived as a species. Wear and tear is a factor, but mostly Bacteria and Viruses prefer to "attack" us.

 

So, every day we wake up healthy, we should be thankful that none of those thousands of "attackers" have selected you/me as a target.

It must give food for thaught, that the "crown of evolution" is still mainly threathened by microscopip "villans", that have staunchly refused to turn into something "higher", not parttaking on evolution, perfectly satisfied with attacking "the crown of the evolution" relentlessly and successfully, by refusing to turn into a worm or a mouse eventually.

 

Never mind the pistol toting humans, we are likely to be killed by microscopic little villans.

Actually

Cardiovascular is biggest killer

followed by cancer.

Diabetes/ metabolic syndrome.

Medical 'errors' is next.

germs, not so much.

Lifestyle illnesses most likely the biggest killer

 

AI says

 

AI-oversikt

 

There isn't a single "main disease" as the leading causes of death vary globally and can change over time. However, cardiovascular diseases and cancer are consistently among the top causes of death worldwide.Additionally, infectious diseases, particularly COVID-19, have significantly impacted global mortality recently.

 

 

On a direct question about lifestyle diseases being the biggest killer

 

Yes, lifestyle diseases, also known as chronic or non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are a major global health concern and a significant cause of death and disability. They are caused by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors, and include diseases like cardiovascular diseases (heart attacks, stroke), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (COPD), and diabetes

[swissie]

The meaning of this post was: It's amazing that we have survived as a species so far. Thankfully our "immune system" is aware that zillions of big or little "villains" have decided that us humans are a perfect target for their reproductive environement, making us sick or killing us.

 

The "God's" or "the God" made sure that we never would get the idea that our Earth would be a carefree "paradise" for us. But that is another matter, best discussed in some strange U-Tube channels, but not here.

deseases? Including word blindness?

I understand how we make errors on the forum; but in the heading?

"Diseases" would me more accurate; no?

Of that list; which one is the best?

It may interest you to know Swissie, and thanks for an interesting topic finally btw, it may interest you to know that there are animals that are immortal.

 

Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish, is a species of small, biologically immortal jellyfish.

 

"This ability to reverse the biotic cycle (in response to adverse conditions) is unique in the animal kingdom. It allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering Turritopsis dohrnii potentially biologically immortal."

Most fun is to develop lifestyle illnesses, like most do. Living like there is no tomorrow until there is actually a tomorrow

AI of course.  

 

Darwinism, or the theory of evolution by natural selection, provides a framework for understanding the evolution of both human and microbial populations, which can be applied to combat diseases. By understanding how pathogens and hosts co-evolve, researchers can develop strategies to counter disease, including antibiotic resistance, cancer, and infectious diseases.

 

So in a few million years, we will be better at fighting these.  Who knows what new diseases we will find, create, or maybe stop being immune to?  Only a zillion possibilities.

Heard of it. Reproduction without having sex. Clone yourself.  No brain needed for this process. Evolution has gone astray by "inventing" something like a "brain", enabeling "the brain" to invent atomic bombs. I envy my Goldhamster with his underdeveopped brain.

Thanks. You are explaining that there is an "arms race" between microscopic Attackers versus Bodily Defenders. A war going on since 4 billion years. Nothing new. Thanks to Antibiotics, we have won a temoprary victory. Temporary, well understood.

I wonder what screen name that germ theory denialist (@owl sees all& @Stiddle Mump) is using now.  I think this image shows us he's still lurking nearby.

 

Who else could give @Quentin Zen's post a thumbs down?  I just checked and the denialist visited a few hours ago.

Don't tell the "I Need Vaccinations Or I'm Gonna Die For Sure" crowd.  They'll be lining up to get their next 1000 shots.

Well, congratulations on the new baby,  She/He/Its just taken its first breaths and we already have its first 20 shots administered.  30 more to go and you can hold it.  Oh don't worry the next 18 years will be fine.  It will only need about 25,000 shots and we guarantee it will never get sick or die* .  Ok, here's your little pin cushion. "WAAAAAAA WAAAAAA WAAAAAA"

*But if it does, sue the government.  

Are you OK connda? Your above post does not reflect your usual "down to earth" comments. Come tomorrow, start with a strong cup of coffee in combination with 2 Alka Selzer .

THE PROBLEM IS: As all major Pharmaceutical Companies have stopped to look for new "anty bacterial agents" (research too expensive and the end product not profitable enough), it is forseeable that eventually the microscopic bugs will win the "arms race".

I don't agree.

 

There are less than 10 diseases.

Research on new antibiotics is ongoing and new antibiotics are developed all the time.
