Chronic Diseases

A disease becomes chronic only if the driving root cause is not addressed. At present, in chronic diseases, the root cause is not addressed only its effects like increase in glucose are managed. Thus present treatments only focus on management of the disease for lifelong rather than curing the chronic disease. Rather than attempting to cure without knowing the cause, finding out the root cause is a much easier way to cure the chronic diseases. It will also help us to avoid an epidemic of chronic diseases for future generation. Thus it is efficient and economical to spend money on finding out the cause rather than cure. However, the world (patients) are ready to pay only for cure, not for the cause. As a consequence, even though the research to find root cause and avoid epidemic of chronic diseases is highly beneficial for the whole of humanity, there is hardly anyone to carry out such research with conviction as there is not much monetary gain to be made. In essence, most of the current research chooses the easiest problem of masking the symptoms and making money out of it. Most of the current research is trying to find a cure without even knowing the cause, an illogical and non-scientific approach, a blind search for a needle in a haystack. A cure without knowing the cause, looks for a miracle chemical compound, mostly ends up in deceiving the hapless patients.
