In order to understand the world around us as the truth about it is emerging from a 100+ year slumber, it’s going to be important to challenge ideas that have absolutely zero basis in reality.
I will start off by saying that we have been duped - ALL OF US.

2/5 "Thus, “[t]hose who have contact with the #chronically #ill . . . do not want to be #reminded of #vulnerability and #ultimate #demise. In turn, the demand placed on the chronically ill is to #control, #hide, and #overcome the #chronic #illness.” (Alpert, 2012)."

Aufklärung über mentale Gesundheit beinhaltet oft diese Botschaft: "Psychische Störungen denken sich Menschen nicht aus. Sie sind echte Erkrankungen". Ich verstehe diese Idee und ich teile das Anliegen. Aber manche Verkürzungen zu diesem Thema können zu Problemen führen. 1/
Es ist kein Zufall, dass #Psychotherapeut*innen Störungen (engl. disorders) diagnostizieren, Ärzt*innen aber Erkrankungen (engl. diseases). 2/ 
Es fehlen im deutschen differenzierte Begriffe wie im Englischen: Begriffe wie #condition und #disorder haben eine andere Bedeutung als #disease, #sickness und #illness. Die ICD erscheint (genauso wie das DSM) auf Englisch und wird dann übersetzt ins Deutsche. 3/

2/ As a woman who lives with multiple immune-related disorders, when a comedian makes a joke about chronic illness, I feel unseen...not just for me, but for all my fellow #chronicfolks. Does Chris Rock have any idea what Jada goes through to live with alopecia? Probably not.
3/ As a country, we need to create more dialogue around chronic illness, and especially autoimmune diseases. They are so prevalent yet they are usually talked about in whispers....'Oh, she has Crohn's.' Cancer used to be spoken about in hushed words, too.
1 aspect of my body I'm not happy with is my terrible immune system
while I didn't officially become disabled until I was 18,
my quality of life often was effectively chronically ill growing up,
I catch everything, & when I get sick I stay sick for twice as long as others

For my teen years, I literally got pneumonia every year
Being always sick made keeping up with school really difficult, especially with my caring responsibilities
My grades struggled & until college I believed I had no intellectual potential at all

I bring this up to point out a major modern broken aspect of our medical system & the way American society approaches an illness,

names & cures, societal false/true for claims of illness

My #migraine was wrongly diagnosed as a mental disorder by a questionnaire widely used in primary care. Migraine is a progressive brain disease. Accurate diagnosis & effective treatment are essential.

V. thought provoking seminar today @TRI_info by Prof John Huss entitled ‘Ecological medicine & medical ecology’. Discussed were ecological strategies for #coral remediation and the #microbiome. But more interesting was unpacking the #philosophy of biological research!.... (1/12)
The field of microbiome #research is still very young, and it’s hard to get a handle on what is established and where exactly the field will progress (2/12)
However, there seem to be two different concepts thrown around when people talk about the microbiome:
a) Micro-biome: a biome of microbes, an ecological conception.
b) Microbi-ome: the microbial genome, a molecular conception.
