Actually pretty poor. Normally a disease is named for the doctor who discovered it.

I have good news and bad news.
Bad News: You have a never-before-seen disease.
Good News: They're nameing it after me.

Alzheimer didn't get Alzheimer's.
Crohn didn't get Crohn's.
etc.

Yes, one of many misleading aspects of western corpo~med.inc.

It makes the other systems begin to make more sense.

For instance, in my case, I had a longstanding many named (all wrong) problem until I went with acupunture & shiatsu.

At first the eastern terms sounded odd, but the more I learned about the "system as a whole", the better I felt about understanding what had gone wrong & what I could do about it.
