Answer:

If there is one illness in the world that can be viewed as both a medical construct and a social construct, is HIV-AIDS. The disease, which is definitely caused by the HIV virus, causes a series of evident symptoms and situations that are medically proven, and are handled medically through pharmacological treatments, rehabilitation, resocialization, and psychological treatments.

In HIV-AIDS, the physical and physiological, as well as psychological, effects of the disease, like the symptoms, which are responses to the different stages of the virus invading and attacking the body, and the pharmacological and surgical treatments for the disease, are all medically constructed. Another thing that is medically constructed is the research on the virus and the spread of information on the disease, which has fed, negatively, or positively, the social view on it.

However, HIV-AIDS has a really huge chunck that is constructed socially. First, the belief on how it is transmitted, and the social implications for those who suffer from it. Second, the unfounded views on the risks regarding the disease, which leads to social isolation for the person involved and third, the misunderstanding on the correct pathophysiology, prevention, and management of the disease in the general population causes people to reject people with AIDS. Fortunately, the advances in pharmacological treatment, and the release of new information of how the virus works and is transmitted, as well as how it can be prevented, have allowed new life standards for people who suffer the disease.

Answer:

ATP and energy production in patients with Chronic Pain and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Explanation:

Chronic pain and Chronic fatigue are two conditions of explainable causes. Many time persons complain that they have to go through a battery of tests before they find that they have ruled out every possible disease and then there are no other choices left. There are no specific causes and there are no specific cures; although there has been strong correlation to traumatic events being a cause. Many patients are left to be treated with anti-anxiety, depression and ADD/ADHD medication to relieve a plethora of symptoms.

Recently isolated studies have been done to treat these conditions by fortifying the mitochondria and replenishing the electron transport chain with vital components such as Magnesium and Coq10. Over a 50% relieve has been reported on patients that add a few more supplements to their diet aside from these.

The breakthrough here is to understand how to treat a disease by providing what the body is lacking rather than shutting off the pain sensors which are reporting pain; a signal that there is trouble.

The concept here is that Chronic pain and chronic fatigue is of an unknown cause and has an unknown cure. What was intriguing was that a condition that is so debilitating can be managed with supplements available on the market.  To explore this further would be to take these supplements myself and see the effect it has on a personal level.
