    So a lot of diseases aren't actually species of invading bacteria or viruses but the body gone awry?

The ones that aren't caused by external factors of course. And yeah, cancer is one disease where cells change their programming. Auto-immunity and many neurodegenerative disorders would be others where (I think) intracellular signaling goes awry.
