Few people bite off more than they can chew and have to distinguish between the words “disease” and “illness”. But it is important, so to speak, for our health throughout life. The words “illness” and “disease” are near synonyms. Usually we are used to say together: “disease”. It is commonly used together, including in many official and medical publicity materials. The oracle character for “illness” is like an arrow in the armpit of a person, indicating that the person has been wounded by an arrow. It seems that “disease” is a word derived from a person’s traumatic injury. According to the ancients, an external injury is a disease, while an internal injury is a disease; a light one is a disease, while a serious one is a disease. The word “sickness” is derived from a person who suffers from external injuries. sickness” is explained: sickness, sickness plus also. In other words: sickness is more serious than disease, is the result of the development, derivation and deterioration of disease. Sickness, also commonly known as “minor illnesses”, will aggravate into “disease” if not treated in time. Bian Magpie was a famous doctor in ancient times. When he first met Duke Huan of Cai, he said that he had a “disease” and that if he did not treat it in time, it would worsen. The Duke of Cai Huan didn’t believe him at all. Ten days later, Bian Magpie saw him a second time and said that he had a “disease” that was much more serious than the last time, and that if he didn’t treat it in time, it might be life-threatening. The Duke of Cai Huan still did not listen. Finally, the Duke of Cai Huan’s condition worsened to the point that he remembered Bian Magpie and sent people around to look for land. At this time, Bian Magpie said: “I am not very learned, I am not very good at medicine, and I can’t help it. This story tells us a truth: before the disease is formed, or when it first starts, especially in the stage of “disease”, we should take it seriously and treat it in time. Otherwise, the disease will aggravate into a disease, a small disease dragged into a major disease, it is difficult to treat. Further delay, you may have to pay the price of life. Again, a specific. Now many people have “high blood pressure”, long years by taking drugs to control blood pressure, it is very helpless. Take the medicine, right, day after day, month after month, year after year, do not know when is the end. If you don’t take medication, you can’t. High blood pressure makes people uncomfortable and frightened, and you fear damage to vital organs. In fact, hypertension can be divided into two stages: “disease” and “illness”. The former may be due to stress, fatigue, emotions, menopause and other causes of high blood pressure, also known as “symptomatic hypertension”. If the adverse factors are removed in time and the lifestyle is improved, the blood pressure will return to normal and no medication will be needed. However, more people are, as soon as they find high blood pressure, they rush to find a doctor to prescribe medicine to eat, never seriously to find the cause, let alone to try to eliminate the cause of the disease. Over time, it becomes a “hypertensive disease”, that can only take drugs for life, miss the best time to recover. Speaking of which, I would like to say one more word, that is, the word “cancer”. As we all know, although modern technology is very advanced and Chinese people can walk in space, there are not many means to effectively treat cancer. If we write the words “disease”, “illness” and “cancer” side by side, I wonder how you would feel after reading them. My feeling is: the structure of the three words is more “hard” than the other one, which makes me think that it is more difficult to cure it than the other one. Seeing this, maybe you are starting to agree with me a little. Understand the difference between “disease” and “disease” is to firmly establish a new concept: pay attention to “disease”, that is, “minor diseases The timely treatment of “disease” is more important than the treatment of “disease”. What’s more, how many “diseases” today can be completely cured? More often than not, what doctors can do is to use various methods to try to control the deterioration of the disease. Just like firefighters fighting a fire, the main task is to control the spread of the fire and minimize the damage. If we can put out the fire early on, we may not be able to talk about the damage at all. Cancer is an extreme manifestation of the disease. Even if the surgery is clean, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are repeatedly consolidated, cancer may still “resurface” at any time. Academician Zhong Nanshan often teaches us that we should go to the fire line for minor injuries. Instead of learning from childhood “minor injuries do not go to the line of fire”. The scientific reasoning and life wisdom in it, I dare not say much, let’s understand it by heart.
