Discussion: The distinction between Causes vs. Symptoms vs. Catalysts seems trivial but often confusing!

The distinction between the causes of the disease, symptoms, triggers, and catalysts is essential.

Causes vs. Symptoms vs. Catalysts.
In cases of first-time infectious disease, pathogens are indeed the cause of the disease.
The same pathogens are only triggers and catalysts in chronic stages because the human body is designed to overcome any intruder. The underlying cause of chronic infectious or inflammatory diseases is always a weak immune system.
Logically - a symptom of one disease - can not be the cause of another disease!

High blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol levels in the blood are not the cause of heart disease or diabetes! (This is a Widespread logical error.) The leading causes of these diseases are an unhealthy diet and an unhealthy (mental and physical) lifestyle. (Incessant tension, little sleep.) Seemingly, these are semantic definitions, but they dramatically impact the way doctors and the entire medical establishment think.

Blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, and even cancerous tumors are disease symptoms, not the disease itself! Doctors, medical practitioners, and even the World Health Organization regularly err in thinking (not just terminology) when attributing high mortality rates to high blood pressure. The causes of high blood pressure are unhealthy diet and lifestyle! This is the real cause of death. A symptom of a disease, logically, cannot cause death.
