Cancer: The Forbidden Cures
'The truth is often right in front of our noses. It is so close that we cannot focus on it... There is no such thing as 'the' truth. Truth is not something you can think of possessing. Truth is search. Truth can only be found by stretching the limits of your horizon, by widening your way of thinking.'

Coronavirus: Is it really that serious?
Novelty Coronavirus, as it's correct scientific name, is a new strand of the coronaviruses, a large family of virus that cause a wide range of illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious ilnesses such as the Middle Eastern Respitory Syndrome. Scientists believe that the nCoV (Novelty Coronavirus) came from bats and snakes, a delicacy around some parts of China. The virus then quickly adjusted it's DNA structure to attack humans, primarly affecting the human breathing system in its later stages. Sypmtoms appear as if you've caught the common cold, or the flu, and you can be asymptomatic, meaning you're displaying no symptoms even tho you are carrying the virus, for 14 days, which has caused mass panic in other countries such as the US and Italy. You could be carrying the virus AND infecting others around you without you knowing you are sick. And it's highly contagious, traveling in the suspended particles of salaiva after you sneeze or caugh, which can linger in the room for a couple of hours. But, before you start to panic, and give out to anyone who sneezes near you, the nCov isn't as dangerous as the media seem to make it. Let me explain.

Diagnosed With: Diagnosis
I started posting on Vocal with a goal of at least one post a week but I have already missed at least two weeks. I can’t tell you exactly why because I don’t have a name for it yet. The doctors know that I have a second autoimmune disease and that it is possibly attacking my nerves. I recently got a working diagnosis debunked but this isn’t the first one. The process of diagnosis can be long and painful. In the meantime, without knowing what is wrong with you, adjusting and asking others to adjust is difficult. With autoimmune disease, it almost never is an easy diagnosis, or even a difficult but quick House M.D. style one. This puts extra stress and anguish on those who are suffering. I have already told one of my own stories so I wanted to take a wider look at the problem.
