Here is your answer from post #18 - "In this article we begin to address the subject of vaccinosis, the general name for chronic dis-ease caused by vaccines".

That tells me nothing except that you consider vaccinosis to be a "dis-ease", but that isn't a definition of "dis-ease".

If you use the word, it MUST have a meaning. Please define it, not use it in a sentence.

Yes that is the context in which I used the word...

OK if it must be explained and spelled out to you here goes:

dis

1. A prefix from the Latin, whence F. d['e]s, or sometimes d['e]-, dis-. The Latin dis-appears as di-before b, d, g, l, m, n, r, v, becomes dif-before f, and either dis-or di- before j. It is from the same root as bis twice, and duo, E. two. See Two, and cf. Bi-, Di-, Dia-. Dis-denotes separation, a parting from, as in distribute, disconnect; hence it often has the force of a privative and negative, as in disarm, disoblige, disagree. Also intensive, as in dissever.

ease

n.

The condition of being comfortable or relieved.

Freedom from pain, worry, or agitation: Her mind was at ease knowing that the children were safe. Freedom from constraint or embarrassment; naturalness.

Freedom from difficulty, hardship, or effort: rose through the ranks with apparent ease.

Readiness or dexterity in performance; facility: a pianist who played the sonata with ease.

Freedom from financial difficulty; affluence: a life of luxury and ease.

A state of rest, relaxation, or leisure: He took his ease by the pond.

you I believe use the word disease to denotes sickness due to pathogenic cause...
