Not all diseases are caused by microbes. The theory of one microbe causing one disease was proven long ago. We know now that it is more complex that that now.
To prove this, see what microbes will grow from each person who has a similar disease and if these microbes are the same microbe, this microbe caused this disease. However, the proof would need thousands of cases to "cement" the cause.
