Friends,
From the beginning of the Human Race, we have suffered from many diseases.
Interestingly, the race had overcome these diseases periodically. Otherwise, we have not survived so many thousands of years.
Now the question is how we survived for so long?
Scientists are still finding the answer to this question. The race had faced so many natural calamities, so many dreadful diseases which could extinct the race but we still survived.
So many animals are extinct. Might be due to natural calamities, might be of dreadful diseases or might be for the human race.
I feel the reasons for survival are intelligence, decision-making abilities, and the invention of medicines amongst others.
Before the invention of modern medicines, we were mostly dependent on different medicinal herbs, plants, and trees.
In many parts of the world, still, these traditional medicines are being used.
These traditional medicines are the originator of modern medicines.
There are many diseases which were supposed to have only one option of death are being treated with modern medicines and we get cured also.
Diseases like polio and Guinea worm are eradicable while some of the diseases like lymphatic filariasis, cysticercosis, measles, mumps, and rubella could be eliminated from some parts of the world.
Smallpox and Rinderpest have been eradicated from the world by using modern medicine.
Cholera was once treated as an epidemic, now with modern medicine, the death rate with this disease has significantly gone down.
Now with modern medicine and technologies heart failure, kidney failure, and other major diseases are being treated. The human race has increased its life span.
Even Cancer, HIV are being treated with medicines and patients are living longer lives.
We are also very hopeful that these modern medicines and technologies will show us the way to overcome the current infection of COVID.
Have faith in you and the medicines and modern medical technologies.
