Sick through diagnostics

A theme that runs through the whole of medicine like a red thread are the diagnoses made by the doctor with the associated prognoses.
Even if it actually belongs to ethics, I want to consider this topic separately, because it is so comprehensive and widespread.

A person goes to the doctor either for a trivial matter or just for a routine examination and receives a serious diagnosis such as cancer.
What happens to the patient then? Even in orthodox medicine the concept of placebo and nocebo is well known, but is often left out of research,
instead of dealing with the effect once.

The patient, of course, gets to deal with the fear, shaped by the generally valid statements about cancer, and he may now still ask
how long he will have it. And the doctor's information then acts like a prescription.

So, the doctor looks at his statistics, if he doesn't have them in his head, and tells the patient, for example, that he has three months to live.
Immediately, everything in the patient adjusts to the fact that he really only has three months to live, and the doctor has another case that confirms the statistics.

I claim that without this diagnosis and prognosis, the patient would have had many more happy years ahead of him. How do I arrive at this?
Cancer is not necessarily fatal and can also be cured, there are enough ways and means, only these ways are neither published, but forbidden,
denigrated and branded as ineffective by the media.

Cancer for example is a normal process in the body, every human being has cancer cells, which are normally eliminated immediately by the immune system.

And instead of supporting the immune system here, they scare the hell out of the patient, saying it is necessarily fatal unless they opt for
chemotherapy, radiation or both.

What does such an immune system do when the person is under stress? Because nothing else is fear, pure stress. Let's take one of our ancestors,
who was walking through the countryside in search of food and encountered a sudden danger, for example a saber-toothed tiger. What happens in the body then?
A moment ago, the body was still absorbing energy from the food and environment, the body was designed for growth, and by growth I
I also mean the repair work that is constantly taking place in the body. Because, as we all know, the entire body is constantly renewing itself, cells are dying
and are replaced by new cells. But now, with the reaction to the saber-toothed tiger, it looks quite different. The body changes its functions in a flash,
to spring into action. Digestion and growth are shut down, as is the immune system, because if the human has a
a small bacterial infection, then it doesn't matter for the moment. If he does not manage to flee from the tiger or, in extreme cases, defeat it, then this infection is
his least problem. He lands in the food chain on the second place and is thus the first loser.

Exactly this mechanism sets in when a patient gets such a diagnosis. The possible actions in the case of the tiger were flight or attack,
here he can do neither. Paralyzed by fear, he hopes for help from others, and in this case that is the doctors. But instead of strengthening the immune system now,
it is further weakened by chemotherapy or radiation. Should the patient survive this procedure, it will only be because he intensely believed in his cure,
but this is made very difficult when the patient feels the side effects of these therapies.

(This is only my opinion, but I could be right. Bernd).
