Disease Mongering Engine Generates Fictitious Disease Names (Satire)

An online tool recently published allows users to instantly generate humorous and fictitious disease descriptions based on terminology commonly used in describing psychiatric or behavioral disorders.

The "Disease Mongering Engine" is available at www.NewsTarget.com/Disease-Mongering-Engine.asp and randomly generates diseases, disorders and syndromes that sound real, but aren't.

The engine, created by author and natural health guru Mike Adams, is intended as a parody of conventional medicine and the over-diagnosis fictitious diseases. "Drug companies actually invent fictitious diseases, then profit by selling drugs to treat those fictitious conditions," Adams explained. By using an online software engine to generate disease names and descriptions that seem real, Adams hopes to demonstrate that just because a disease name sounds real doesn't mean it is.

The Disease Mongering Engine can generate more than 73,000 unique disorders, syndromes and dysfunctions. Each one is accompanied by unique description, along with universal instructions for "getting filthy rich" by marketing the fictitious disease and selling FDA-approved pharmaceuticals to treat it.

Some of the diseases created by the Disease Mongering Engine include Pathological Nervous Anticipation Disorder (PNAD), Hypoactive Disorganized Stress Syndrome (HDSS) and Delusional Antisocial Personality Syndrome (DAPS).

- The following is an excellent example by diseasemongering.org of how easy it is to develop a video and persuade the public (and professions) that undesired human characteristics can be portrayed as treatable disorders (something BigPharma exploits very well).
