Science Today (Can Science solve problems of Allergy?)

Introduction:

Allergies are dislike to things, people and Nature, which one develops during his life. Some of the causes remain unknown, while some come to the fore. Can Science find the roots of Allergy in humans and Nature?

Science Today (Can Diseases be Good?)

Science Today (Can Diseases be Good?)

Introduction:
A lot of time, we might think diseases as bad, but disease is also life which might try to kill the bad life in us. This might sound counter-intuitive at first but if we look at overall view, diseases might be better adept at living as compared to us (and we might be the exploiters against them). Can “Diseases” be good?

3. Nobel Prize (Talent: People who did great discoveries in Science and are given a prize so that you don’t forget them)

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1978
Werner Arber, Daniel Nathans, Hamilton O. Smith

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1978 was awarded jointly to Werner Arber, Daniel Nathans and Hamilton O. Smith “for the discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to problems of molecular genetics”.

7. Diseases

Potential Cause of HIV-Associated Dementia Revealed
(HIV virus gets active in the brain pairing with other diseases like Dementia to kill its enemy ‘Humans’, which signifies “Our Enemy can form better relationships than us”, a quality which we humans seem lacking)

Conclusion:
As we see above, there are many diseases, fish and animals which are thriving against humans in a common Nature exemplifying “Better Survival of Fittest” skills against us and hence we should be cautious about calling them bad. They are better adept in a diminishing Nature. It might be a good idea trying to develop a symbiotic relationships with most living beings for further growth in Nature and us.

Diseases

Diseases

Common diseases like cancer, tumors happen in our life and normally we go to our favourite doctor to cure them. However most of these diseases might lie within ourselves. Here is a short overview of these diseases and their reasons.

What is Cancer?
People following order and people following their own individuality give rise to Cancer

What is AIDS?
People living on free money and people donating money gives rise to AIDS

What is irritation?
People using makeup to become beautiful and people having lust to make love to them

What are brain disease?
All work and no play

Insomnia?
Water and Light Problem (Fruits)

Forgetting things?
Sunlight Problem & Late Night Work

Cannot Think?
Problem of Will (Too much fast food or no food at all, Need to eat natural food)

Headaches
Waste Molecules in your brain, dust particles (Low Quality Food and Environment)

I have personally been to a doctor when i get such diseases and have a mixed opinion about them. Normally I would dislike going to a doctor or an  hospital for treatment. And I am currently debating the question “Whether I should go to the Doctor at all, when I am physically or mentally hurt?”.

Why Pharma Has To Open Up

Why Pharma Has To Open Up

This is a blog about Human Illness and the Pharma Industry. Millions of people die every year throughout the World due to illness like Cancer, AIDS, Malaria, TB and more. However the cure to these diseases remain with mostly developed nations (America, Europe) and a handful of companies and high net individual.

Negative effects of the closed nature of Pharma Industry on the World

1. Patents and Non Availability of Drugs to Other Companies and Poor Nations (India, Africa, China)

2. High Cost Of Drugs inhibit them bring distributed widely throughout the World keeping the illness alive in human kind

3. The Knowledge of Disease & Drugs is all hidden from the common man. Who inflicts the disease? What is the process of cure? Can it be prevented rather than cured?

4. Innovation of Drugs is restricted and it takes decades and sometimes centuries to find cure. i.e Cancer & AIDS

5. The business of Pharma Industry, medicine becomes a blind faith business resulting in the possibility of maximum corruption and wrong-doing. Overall, it is up to the “Have’s” to share with the “Have’s Not” the benefits of Pharma Industry.

6. Biological weapons have become widespread resulting in even more killing and Wars throughout the World.

Positive effects of the open nature of Pharma Industry on the World

1. Research for drugs can be more widespread resulting in innovation and improved Drug Solutions

2. More talent would be attracted to the Pharma Industry

3. Transparency like Open Source IT would result in less trials n tribunals in the Pharma Industry and more effective drugs

4. The positive and negative of the Pharma Industry in the wider human community would lead to prevention of bad habits that cause disease rather than cure. This in turn would improve the health of the entire human race.

Initially the Pharma Industry would be hesitant to open up due to the long durations of clinical trials and the process of development of drugs and medicine. But eventually the process would become cleaner, faster and more effective something like the evolution of IT Industry.
