Illogical Hypothesis

Controversies have punctuated the course of medical history. Dogma has prevailed where confrontation was beaten down by industry and vested interests.

As diseases become known through symptom expression, observation and reporting an hypothesis is developed to investigate and discover disease causation. Scientific methods provide rules for scientists to confirm and reconfirm the cause of any disease. Causation by association and circumstantial evidence, not absolute proofs of disease, appear to rule medical science.

An illogical hypothesis can pass as a commonly held, putative, proof and wrongly result in inviolable dogma if not challenged.

The earliest hypotheses of disease causation pointed to supernatural phenomena. Causation by association (circumstantial evidence) is used today to formulate infectious etiologies to explain the cause of cancer and other disease entities.

Where do viruses come from? Is a virus not a theoretical creation that became “real” when technology was applied to the world of subatomic particles?
