For as long as it has been concluded on the basis of the similarity between the microscopic entities to which attention is called by the clearly different manifestations in patients with a particular diagnosis, that the origin of such manifestations lies in the transmission of a specific “infectious agent,” it has remained impossible to prevent their worsening towards deaths and disabilities with precision. Following the principle in Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War,’ that the source of the foreknowledge by which the most successful armies in history decisively defeated the enemies of their people is not analogy but the findings of people who know the enemy situation, we chose to investigate the origin of such manifestations with the method of General Relativity, which requires medical foreknowledge to begin in the findings of those clinicians who fight the actual enemies of patients at the bedside. We found that the focus of research towards furnishing the foreknowledge that the “medical army” requires to defeat these enemies ought to be the investigation of a “deconditioning factor” that causes the failure of the mechanisms that render the illnesses that persist due to the absence of recovery unapparent or asymptomatic by means of myoglobin, even when the precipitation of severity by silently harbored microscopic entities is so intense that sudden death occurs before the detection of these entities when such apparent health mechanisms fail.
