Best answer:

Answer by onlymatch4u
The typical methodology and approach the medical people use is based on the “autoimmune” theory that has been debunked by most people in the world, but still remains as “fact” in the U.S. One thing the medical people suggest is to remove the thymus gland! Well if the body isn’t working, let’s just remove parts and that should fix it! Same logic as, well the gallbladder isn’t working right, let’s just remove it!

How Is It Possible to Absolutely Categorize Alcoholim as a Disease and Not an Illness?

Question by denveryay: How is it possible to absolutely categorize Alcoholim as a disease and not an illness?
“Disease” is a very loosely defined term in many respects. There are multiple disorders, infenctions, and symptoms that can be typical of a definable disease. Also, a disease must have specific and constant cause(s), which in the case of Alcoholism is the CHOICE to drink ethyl-alcohol. The cause of the “disease” is the recurring and disregarding CHOICE to drink. A choice, however pathological or illogical, doesn’t seem to be appropriate as a cause or a condition of any disease. Despite the negative psychological, physiological, and other results of long-term alcohol abuse, it seems that it shouldn’t be classified as anything more than a treatable mental disorder.
