	Victory disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victory disease refers to the habit whereby military commanders, armies, and even whole nations, having experienced a series of previous military victories, becomes weak and susceptible to defeat.
		Victories convince this side that their tactics/weapons are superior, as the enemy develops new schemes and technologies.
		Victory disease is usually applied after a series of military victories leads to arrogance or complacency, and ultimate disaster.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Victory disease
		Victory disease is generally used as a term when a series of military victories leads to arrogance or complacency; usually the term is used retrospectively after this arrogance or complacency has led to a defeat.
		A related factor is the impact of logistics -- a series of victories can lead to battles farther and farther from the nation's homeland, which has the effect of weakening the available force by stretching out the supply lines and forcing the detachment of occupation forces.
		It resulted in a minor, morale-boosting victory in which 8th Route Army was able to capture a cache of weapons and annihilate a Japanese brigade.

	VII. Rediscovery of the Minamata disease in Niigata
		The second Minamata disease was recognized at an earlier stage and therefore there was a lesser degree of contamination than in Minamata, but even so, in the year of its discovery five deaths were attributed to the disease and 26 persons were designated disease patients.
		In the case of the second Minamata disease in Niigata, careful epidemiological surveys were made of the disease and it was discovered that the disease symptoms varied to a great extent, depending on the severity of the poisoning.
		The disease victims recognized these moves as a governmental attempt to limit the number of disease patients when the number of applicants for examination was on the increase.

	Parkinson's Disease: Is Victory in Sight?
		The incidence of the disease increases with age although aging itself is not believed to be a causative factor.
		Parkinson's disease is rarely inherited and less than one per cent of all cases are thought to have a genetic component.
		Dr. Fahn found that Parkinson's disease patients given large doses of oral vitamin-C and synthetic vitamin-E supplements (3000 mg and 3200 IU daily respectively) delayed the progression of their disease to the point where they needed l-dopa 2.5 years later than a group of patients who were not taking supplements(39,40).

		This symptom of the Victory Disease often develops during periods of peace and leads to poor military performance at the outbreak of hostilities.
		Since national and military leaders suffering from the Victory Disease are likely to use an established pattern, the enemy will be able to predict their actions and seize the initiative.
		Once aware of the Victory Disease's effects, the nation's military leaders are responsible for alerting national leaders to the debilitating effects of the disease.

		As disease connects with discrimination, and the face was considered a mirror of the soul, syphilitic noses marked the body as corrupt and dangerous.
		Suffers were considered diseased and unclean, due to the missing nose or the collapsed shape of the nose.
		The title of the chapter "victory over disease" is probably related to the options that became available to the condemned, as "successful" nose surgeries, even though risky, painful, and dangerous, allowed them the opportunity to be accepted in society as non-diseased and able to pass as healthy.

	Victory Disease (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While a force that has been defeated recently will tend to analyze the reasons for this defeat and attempt to change its organization and tactics, a winning force will often blindly follow previous tactics, or even ignore basic rules of strategy due to confidence in their own superiority.
		This culminated in the 1942 Battle of Midway, which resulted in a devastating defeat to the Japanese navy and the loss of four of their six aircraft carriers involved.
		Israeli victories in the Six Day War had made them overconfident, and units on Israel's borders were unprepared for Arab attacks, although Israel narrowly avoided defeat.

	VICTORY OVER DISEASE IS POSSIBLE NOW! by Arlin J Brown 1981
		In addition to all these millions of people dying of cancer and heart disease, there are numerous others dying of diabetes, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and a whole raft of other chronic degenerative diseases, most of which did not even exist 100 years ago-and those that did exist were quite rare.
		In actual practice, it has been found that degenerative disease is not only totally preventable but can also be very successfully reversed thru the application of a vegetarian diet and living foods consisting of wheatgrass juice, immature greens, sprouts, fruits, vegetables, and sprouted and fermented seeds, nuts and grains.
		Let's win as many victories as possible before the Second Coming, which must occur soon to keep the earth from destroying itself, and to pave the way for the New Age to follow - an age where truth and righteousness will prevail, and everyone will be free to work toward their own Godhood.

	HOW MUCH LONGER MUST THIS GENOCIDE CONTINUE?
		The other fundamental approach to health, which is totally opposite to the conventional approach, is to prevent disease by keeping the body, mind and spirit in balance, by keeping the body detoxified and the body chemistry balanced, by keeping the organs functioning normally, as well as the immune system and the body defenses.
		Cancer and most other diseases are caused by toxins and imbalances in the body chemistry, often coupled with disturbances in the mental, psychological, emotional and spiritual areas of one's life.
		Today degenerative diseases are wiping out over 90% of the American population, with heart and circulatory disease and cancer killing at least 80% of all Americans.

		In a powerful challenge to our tendency to see disease as unnatural and its virtual elimination as a real possibility, Grob asserts the undeniable biological persistence of disease.
		Diseases ranging from malaria to cancer have shaped the social landscape--sometimes through brief, furious outbreaks, and at other times through gradual occurrence, control, and recurrence.
		By accepting the presence of disease and understanding the way in which it has physically interacted with people and places in past eras, Grob illuminates the extraordinarily complex forces that shape our morbidity and mortality patterns and provides a realistic appreciation of the individual, social, environmental, and biological determinants of human health.

		While studying to become a qualified natural therapist and attending workshops in orthodox medicine while contemplating a medical career, I soon concluded, when it comes to autoimmune disorders, the natural therapy industry and the orthodox health system are often so quick to promote vitamins and drugs, they are missing the point.
		My studies in psychosomatics combined with my personal victory over autoimmune disease allowed me to learn, remission must be experienced for a minimum of three years, for the immune system to create an "automatic" continuance of health which is when I began to actually "feel" cured.
