Sickness can give the ability to cleanse the body of bacteria and other toxins that could contribute to more serious illnesses. Sickness can also be a humbling experience to people.

Sickness can be a benefit when symptoms alert you to a more serious condition. It can make you aware of something that you did not know was going on inside your body. It can also help bring you closer to others with similar problems who could benefit from companionship, including yourself.
