Whipple's disease is a multisystem disorder caused by chronic infection with a bacterium, Tropheryma whippelii. Many patients have malabsorption, which means an impairment of the body's ability to absorb certain nutrients. The disease frequently causes weight loss, irregular breakdown of carbohydrates and fats, resistance to insulin. Most patients have dysfunctions of the immune system. When recognized and treated, Whipple's disease can be cured. Untreated, the disease is usually fatal.

The Dictionary of American Names, page 232, states that a Whipple was originally "one who came from Whimple (white stream) in Devonshire [England]."

Remember Patience Whipple, whose Diary of Remember Patience Whipple is available in bookstores, is a fictional person--her diary is historical fiction. No Whipples sailed to America aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

Blaine Whipple's research has led him to conclude that the John Whipple that eventually settled in Providence, R.I., was the one who came to America on the Lyon. (See also Blaine's discussions of "Whipples in the New World in 1638," "John Whipple and the Ship Lyon," and "The Ipswich Whipples are from Bocking.") Dale Whipple (Ldalewhip@aol.

It isn't entirely clear exactly what John did militarily to merit the designation "Captain." It seems related to King Phillip's War, however. "King Phillip" was a Wampanoag Indian chief who tried to drive the white settlers out of Providence. In the year 1675, John and about 25 others met in a Providence town meeting to decide whether to flee to Newport in order to avoid King Phillip.

Charles H. Whipple's Genealogy of the Whipple, Wright, Wager, Ward, Pell, McLean, Burnett Families (1917) includes a drawing of the Whipple coat of arms on page 9.

A malfunction in the immune system is certainly a part of Crohn's disease. This may be an inability to "turn off" the immune system after it "turns on" for an appropriate reason. Or, the immune system may "turn on" for the wrong reason. Immunosuppressive medications used to keep individuals from rejecting transplanted organs have been shown to be effective in treating Crohn's disease. These factors have led many researchers to characterize Crohn's disease as autoimmune.

Heartworm disease is a serious disease in cats especially in males, and outdoor cats. It is diagnosed in both indoor and indoor-outdoor cats. It is suggested that the reason for finding heartworm positive cats is that cat's nature may swallow different mosquitos or any thing that flies which may be the vector. The clinical signs and diagnosis is different from that in dogs.

Bowen's disease is a precancerous lesion, the malignant cells being restricted to the top skin layer. It appears as a red, scaly or crusted lesion, and may be located anywhere on the skin, including non-sun-exposed skin surfaces.

Legionnaire's disease is a form of pneumonia caused by a bacterium, Legionella pneumophilia. It was first discovered following an outbreak at an American Legion convention in a Philadelphia hotel in 1976.

Between 80 percent and 90 percent of patients get better on their own in about a week. The other 10 percent to 20 percent get worse, with many ending up in intensive care and requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe. About 6 percent die.

Canavan disease is a rare and devastating fatal childhood neurodegenerative disorder affecting the formation of myelin, the white matter of the brain. Canavan disease is a progressive leukodystrophy.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, neurological disorder characterized by a decline in cognitive function that results in dementia (impaired memory, thinking, and reasoning). Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of memory loss (dementia), affecting approximately 4 million people in the United States. Unless a cure is found the number of persons affected in the US alone could reach 14 million by the year 2050.

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The disease is classified by the World Health Organisation as an infectious or parasitic disease. Borrelia burgdorferi belongs to the bacterial genus ‘Borrelia’. These in turn are members of a larger family of bacteria called Spirochaetes.

Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong digestive disorder, found in individuals who are genetically susceptible, that results in damage to the small intestine by interfering with the absorption of nutrients. Celiac Disease is unique in that a specific food component, gluten, has been identified as the culprit. Gluten is the common name for the offending proteins in specific cereal grains that are harmful to persons with CD.
