DAMNIT Scheme of Diagnosis

The DAMNIT Scheme for Diagnosis

The basic disease processes encompassed by this acronym can help in remembering the underlying causes of disease. It’s one we were taught in our veterinary radiology class. We’d stand in front of X-ray viewing boxes for hours looking at radiographs saying “DAMNIT, what could this be?. . .D is for degenerative, disorders, developmental”. . .duh. . .until our eyes blurred or we just didn’t care anymore!

Of course I’ve added a few extra terms you don’t need when looking at radiographs, but you get the general idea. It covers a lot of ground.

The DAMNIT Scheme of Diagnosis:

D - Degenerative Disorders, Developmental, Dehydration, Diet, Digestion, DNA, Dental
A - Anomalies; Autoimmunity, Allergic, Amino Acids, Anatomic
M - Metabolic Disorders, Mechanical, Minerals, Mental, Metastatic, Malformation, Malabsorption/Maldigestion, Meridian Imbalance
N – Neoplasia, Nutritional, Nervous System, Normal,
I - Inflammation (Infectious or Non-Infectious), Immune Mediated Disorders, Iatrogenic (Doctor-caused), Idiopathic (We don’t know), Improper Food Combining, Inflammatory, Internal Parasite
T- Trauma (External or Internal Trauma Caused by Foreign Bodies, Uroliths, etc.), Toxicity

Gee, we’ve missed Y,E,L,P,S and C,V! Guess you’ll have to look at my own list of core causes: http://www.naturalhealthtechniques.com/ExamForms-MedicalIntuitive/core_causes1.htm
