Have you ever heard about internet hoaxes? Have you ever faced any internet hoax or something similar? Have you ever thought that apart from IT sector, the medical region could also have internet hoaxes?
Most of you will say no but it is true. Internet hoaxes exist and that in the medical region too. I know it is hard to believe for you all, but it is a fact that we cannot deny.
Here, I am going to tell you about some internet hoaxes of diseases which terrified the people through its symptoms and results. Every disease has different impacts on everyone. So, you should always consult a doctor and go through complete health check-ups.
Do not believe everything that surfaces over the internet as all you see is not true. You should always apply reasoning before believing anything as it could be a prank or nuisance too.
You must have heard about Blue Waffle. The deadly disease that surfaced the previous year creating a havoc in your lives. No? You must have heard about Candida then. No? I am sure that you would know about Adrenal fatigue then. You don’t remember?
Then, let me tell you about these diseases one by one.
1 Blue waffles disease
Blue waffle scared everyone through the images of affected ones circulated. It causes an inflammation and infection in the vagina and turns it in blue color, called as blue waffle. It was also termed to be as STD (sexually transmitted disease) which affected both men and women. But later, it got cleared that women are more likely affected by this than men. Some people even said that it occurred due to unsafe sex and weak immune system of the body.
Its symptoms are –
1.) Unbalanced diet
2.) Poor hygiene
3.) Stress
4.) Unsafe Sex
5.) Weak Immune system
This left people terrified and a few consulted various doctors to find the truth behind it. This not only created havoc in people’s mind but also shook the doctors and scientists too. People also started comparing it to vaginitis.
It supports the idea that this occurs to women only. But there is no scientific explanation till now to clear its origin. And, patients affected with blue waffle were neither known nor treated in any clinic or hospitals.
After a long research, it was declared as an internet hoax created to scare you and draw your attention. It’s not your fault that you believed it as it looked real. Anyone could have believed it. Even a few doctors were convinced about the existence of this kind of disease. But, at the end, it gotconcluded that the whole concept of blue waffle is incrediblysexist.
Others called adrenal fatigue and candida are also such examples of internet hoaxes. Well, I am not sure if you know what internet hoaxes mean but it is always dangerous to believe a little knowledge. You should be aware of the posts you read on the internet. Try to find the truth behind it, gather as much information as you can and consult a doctor or physician.
2 Adrenal fatigue
Adrenal fatigue is also an internet hoax discovered in 2010-2011. It describes that having a stressful life can lead to the improper working of adrenal glands.
Its symptoms are
1.) Stress
2.) A higher amount of caffeine
3.) Incomplete rest
The adrenal glands do not produce required hormones in the proper amount for the body. It is also linked to adrenal insufficiency. This, in turn, affects the metabolism of your body and can also become a cause for blood pressure.
But like blue waffle, it lacked proper clarification, information, symptoms and patients. It’s a myth that adrenal fatigue is a disease as it doesn’t provide even relevant information related to it. Due to the lack of medically proven statements, no one was ready to believe it. Eventually, it resulted in a declaration of it being an internet hoax.
Do you know that candida, discovered in 1986is still an unproven disease? It attains similarity to advanced AIDS, being non-existent. Candida is a fungal disease which is like advanced AIDS. This disease occurs due to weak immunesystem. This is a type of fungal infection which slowly harms our body. But it is ironical that 90% of its disease-causing fungus stays in our body without causing infection. But it affects our body when we are under stress.
Isn’t it scary of a fungal infectious disease having 90% of its germs in our body but does not cause infection? Also, causing illness when you take the stress. We are more likely to take stress than eating food timely. It was also claimed to be a fungus disease-causing cancer.
It also affects the persons who undergo chemotherapy or treatment of advanced AIDS. It even got scary when the scientists and doctors failed to give any practical explanation to it. But this illness isfake, proved by Dr. William Crook in his book The Yeast Connection.
Today also, the concept of these diseases is unproven. These kinds of diseases draw unrequired attention to themselves and worthless treatments. If, you encounter any related posts to such diseases, consult a doctor and then conclude it as true or fake. Figure out scientific explanation behind it if you encounter in your daily life.
