Symptomless Diseases - Is Science Telling Us The Truth?

Can humans' lack of awareness be a link to why many believe that they had no symptoms for whatever disease they are diagnosed with?

This is just from the mind of the curious child in me that refused to grow up. 

Science says some diseases have no symptoms.

Discover Silent Conditions That Can Be Life-Threatening
Many chronic diseases develop with zero symptoms. Internal medicine specialist Dr. Alfredo at FMP Thao Dien explains…www.vietnammedicalpractice.com

Not all serious health problems announce themselves with pain or obvious warning signs. Some conditions develop quietly over many years, causing little or no discomfort until significant damage has already occurred. These are often called “silent conditions.” Dr. Alfredo — Family Medical Practice Vietnam

Being too aware, I am called sensitive. Knowing myself, I feel every word/pain my body speaks in every language. Knowing my world and its tools or weapons that can heal or harm me, I listen when my body speaks. 

Because people feel well, routine checks are delayed, and opportunities for early treatment are missed. Understanding which conditions commonly progress without symptoms—and how they are detected—can make a meaningful difference in long-term health. Dr. Alfredo — Family Medical Practice Vietnam

When it’s hot, we feel the heat. Same when it’s cold. We often act on both feelings to comfort ourselves. If we don’t act on what our bodies are telling us, does that mean we feel nothing or have no symptoms? 

How physically, emotionally, and psychologically aware are you?

When your body is in pain and it’s ignored repeatedly, does that mean we don’t care about our health? 

Does our lack of awareness and understanding of life, our world, our health, and our bodies play a role in us not feeling the symptoms of the diseases we have?

For the ones who smoke and/or drink, they bought their death. Yet many die of stage three and four lung, throat, liver, and other cancers related to their habit. Didn’t they feel anything? Weren’t they aware of the consequences of their habit? 

Did Science determine this from the humans who swore they had no symptoms of the diseases they were diagnosed with?

I am alive. I can feel everything inside of me and around me that I see, and some that I don’t. Yes, I can feel things I don’t see. 

Science has told us and documented which symptoms go with which diseases. But are humans telling the truth about having no symptoms after the fact?

Can you have symptoms for a disease you don’t have? Does science understand every human’s body? 

I was a caregiver to a female whose grandson fought in the Vietnam War. He came back an alcoholic. He drank himself to death, dying at 28 years old. He had symptoms of something he and his family ignored or didn’t see. 

Not all of them are physical. 

Another female, whose husband served in the Korean War, came back with PTSD. I don’t think they knew what it was then. But from what she said, he had the symptoms. He made her and her children’s life hell. He drank himself to death too, ending up with stage four liver cancer. He died less than a month after he was diagnosed. 

She tortured her children and herself with regrets. Her daughter had to flee the State to save herself. Her son promised his father to take care of her. That promise wrecked his marriage and denied his only child of her father. 

Ignoring your body’s voice and language often goes deeper than symptoms. Mental Health issues often prevent many victims from being aware of the hell raging in their bodies because of what’s going on in their minds. 

Am I wrong in thinking like this? I have seen humans act stupid when it comes to their health. I can see when something is physically and possibly mentally wrong in how they speak, talk, and act. Psychologically and emotionally too. 

Maybe I am insane because I can go deep within me to see the hell of my life, and yours too. 

What do you think? Can humans’ lack of awareness be a link to why many believe that they had no symptoms for whatever disease they are diagnosed with?

Did their mental health at that moment play any role in them not being aware? 

This is painful to think and write. 

Thank you for reading this piece. I hope you enjoyed it.
