I don't understand what this means?
I am aware of the definitions the question is, are you, you specifically mentioned angelman like pradar willi or cri du chat etc etc. are caused by chromosomal abnormalities.. when it is your genetics, you can't classify it as a disease in the lay man's terms, if we are going by the medical terminologies.. How you find yourself is your baseline..
and we can contrast that with this hadith:
Ibn `Abbâs said to `Atâ b. Rabâh: "Shouldn't I point out to you a woman of Paradise?"
He replied: "Indeed. Do so."
Ibn `Abbâs said: "Do you see that black lady? She approached the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'I suffer from epilepsy and during a fit, my body becomes exposed. So please supplicate Allah on my behalf.'
"Then the Prophet said to her: 'If you choose, you might rather bear it patiently and you will attain Paradise on account of it. Or if you like, I will beseech Allah to cure you.'
"She said: 'I will bear it patiently. But my body gets exposed, so please beseech Allah that my body will no longer be exposed.'
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) beseeched Allah for this." [
Sahîh al-Bukhârî (5652) and
Sahîh Muslim (2576)]

certainly if black seed could have been used as you suggest 'a cure-all' he'd have prescribed her that for her condition right there and then?
It is important before you gauge in any topic that you are familiar with all aspects of it!
See above! you don't know what the people back then cared for or didn't
I do indeed.. surely you've heard of vectors and liposomes, enzyme replacement therapy?
