Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another

[Sheri Nakken]

From the journal Pediatrics

Isn't it amazing. I thought I was going to read a homeopathy article when
I saw the title

Homeopaths have known this since homeopathy began. The stronger disease
suspends the weaker one.

§ 43
Totally different, however, is the result when two similar disease meet
together in the organism, that is to say, when to the disease already
present a stronger similar one is added. In such cases we see how a cure
can be effected by the operations of nature, and we get a lesson as to how
man ought to cure.

Nothing to do with genes, but everything to do with other disease the VF is
dealing with

SPECIAL ARTICLE
Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another
Systemic disease, either genetic or acquired, may prevent or decrease the
severity of another disease. These observations have led to important
therapeutic advances. The best-known examples are Edward Jenner's use in
1798 of cowpox to prevent smallpox and J.B. Haldane's 1942 observation that
erythrocyte disorders such as thalassemia and sickle cell disease modify
the severity of malaria. Patients with and carriers of cystic fibrosis may
have genetic resistance to tuberculosis and/or secretory diarrhea. The
beneficial effects of undernutrition have led to therapeutic diets for
seizures, celiac disease, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Finasteride for prostatic hypertrophy was developed after the observation
that patients with male pseudohermaphrodism resulting from
5-{alpha}-reductase mutations do not develop prostatic hypertrophy. Rh
immunoglobulin for Rh hemolytic disease prevention followed the observation
that ABO incompatibility prevented Rh sensitization. The natural
immunosuppression of measles may cause remission of nephrosis, and that of
leprosy prevents psoriasis. Patients with one form of agammaglobulinemia
(X-linked) never get Epstein-Barr virus infection, and patients with
another form (common variable) are seemingly cured by HIV infection.
HIV/AIDS is prevented or modified by co-receptor mutations (notably the
CCR{Delta}32 chemokine mutation), HIV-2, or GB virus C infection.
Additional exploration of these genetic, infectious, and metabolic
influences on disease severity may provide new therapeutic approaches to
HIV and other diseases.
