What
[edit]what does it mean to be ill
Would it be possible to add a new section to this article on coping with illness of a loved one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clbratt (talk • contribs) 17:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
article
[edit]why is one section headed "treatment of AIDS" then goes on to say nothing about that subject? Thedreamdied 00:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
WHO reference
[edit]The link is outdated, and a formal citation is needed. Also, I have doubts on whether the WHO would drop the serial comma. --69.229.121.126 17:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Synonymous with disease
[edit]This NIH site says that illness and disease are synonymous. I think we should consolidate them. Illness may be the better, broader term because it easily fits with mental illness. Comments? If I hear nothing for a long time, then I'll just go ahead to consolidate them. Changed my mind. ImpIn | {talk - contribs} 20:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
The Definition of Illness
[edit]I have looked into illness after being Dx with MS. There has never been a definition of illness that can be applied to everyone, everywhere that was useful or valid. I came up with one that can be found on Google Books at [1] . Essentially, the definition is Chapter 2 'The Theorem' and it has not been challenged or questioned since I began in 1990. All researchers, doctors, dentists and other medical professionals want the model and go away to think about it and never return. Basically, I offer it to you for your posting on Wikipedia, since this is the widest distributed material that I can think of and perhaps it will get better coverage and more discussion on the issue and the definition of illness. Illness is no longer a mystical occurrence but instead should be looked at as a predetermined incidence similar to a fire, where elements must be present before it can take place. I am willing to discuss the definition with anybody, at anytime. Your feedback and comments are important to me.

The relevance of the section "Religion and Illness".
[edit]The are no reference points in the aforementioned section, it looks like original work. The section need to be rewritten or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.50.176 (talk) 16:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
