diseases are diseases that do not exist in conventional medicine as diagnostic entities because there does not exist sufficient sufficient evidence to support them as one or there exists compelling evidence that they are not. Naturopaths, for instance, like to diagnose people with "adrenal fatigue," which is one of the prototypical "fake diseases." Basically, it involves a constellation of vague symptoms , there is no such thing as "adrenal fatigue." It is not an accepted medical diagnosis. That hasn't stopped a veritable industry devoted to selling "adrenal supplements" and other quackery to treat this nonexistent condition from cropping up.Chronic lyme disease is another prototypical fake medical diagnosis. This should be contrasted to Lyme disease, which is a real diagnosis and a real disease caused by the tick-borne

I won't even argue with you about adrenal fatigue because you couldn't understand the biochemistry of it. You don't think allopathy thinks up crazy labels and gives it to a set of symptoms?

I’ve had cancer, an aggressive and badly located basal cell carcinoma, so more disfiguring than anything else, but I cannot imagine imagining that for myself. Hell, it took me forever to admit that it was cancer in the first

, to be more accurate, naturopathy is probably at least 80% quackery and 20% science-based modalities like diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes rebranded and infused with woo. Moreover, whenever naturopaths are misguided enough not to know their limitations, leading them to treat real diseases (rather than made-up naturopathic diseases like "adrenal fatigue"), bad things almost always happen.None

to control (CTR; n = 4 pens of 1 calf per pen) or social stress treatments (STR; n = 4 pens of 4 calves per pen). The STR treatment included 5 cycles of 24-h isolation followed by regrouping with unfamiliar animals for 48 h (over 15 d). An ACTH challenge (0.1 IU/kg of body weight) was used to determine adrenal fatigue. Peak and total cortisol concentrations were greater for STR calves until the ACTH challenge. After the ACTH challenge, CTR calf cortisol increased and STR calf cortisol continued to decrease, suggesting adrenal fatigue. The number of calves that became positive for fecal shedding of Salmonella after the acute stress of being moved and the number of calves that were positive after the move decreased with each move. Fifty-six percent of STR calves changed from negative to positive
