The world's five major terminal illnesses: motor neuron disease (frozen human disease), cancer, AIDS, leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis are listed by the World Health Organization as the world's five major incurable diseases, currently incurable.

In addition, cirrhosis is also a direct threat to human life, and rabies is a disease with a 100% mortality rate.

These are directly threatening people's lives. Extremely high mortality!

There are other incurable diseases similar to terminal illness that cannot be cured, but generally do not threaten human life:

1.Heart disease

It is the main disease in North America, Europe, and Oceania, especially the elderly, who are the most threatened. The United States alone has 750,000 deaths each year.

2.Cerebrovascular disease (also known as stroke or cerebral hemorrhage)

Serious harm to the elderly.

3.Diabetes

More common in developed countries, there is no cure.

Numerous examples from China and overseas prove that Cancer is NOT fatal disease, it is curable. Cancer is not terminally ill. Cancer patients undergo comprehensive treatment, that is, mainstream medicine (modern or modern medicine) and traditional medicine (TCM or traditional Chinese medicine) natural medicine (food therapy ) Combination, especially the long-term adherence to the "people-oriented self-help and self-help" oxygen-enriched exercise, self-help mutual help group to fight cancer, strengthen the body, can improve the patient's own body function and self-healing potential, enhance immunity and self-healing power, defeat cancer . Qigong anti-cancer completely conforms to the theory and practice of "holistic medicine for body and mind".

Terminal illness in terminal religion

Terminal illness is a fatal disease that cannot be treated in a medical sense. Some diseases were terminally ill before, and they are no longer terminally ill after treatment appears, so the term incurable is time-effective.

Some diseases can be treated medically, but they are still terminally ill: there are treatments, but the success rate is too low, the sequelae or serious side effects of the drug; some terminally ills cannot be cured although they are controlled. The former is cancer, while the latter has AIDS. Terminally ill pathogens are extinct for some reason and terminally ill no longer exists.

Past terminal illness: There are some diseases such as smallpox in plague, which prevent infection by immunotherapy, and there is no direct way to eliminate pathogens, so these diseases are only controlled in the public health field. Strictly speaking, the essence of the disease as terminal illness has not been eliminated It has been proposed that smallpox can be used as a biochemical weapon, and a small number of poisonous disease samples are currently cultivated in the laboratory).
