It's a plain modern science. The sophistication, elegance and complexity of cellular nano-technology for molecular scale bio-engineering is far beyond anything human technology could match. This is becoming increasingly more evident with every new advance in cellular biology, molecular biology and biochemistry.
A single cell in your little toe knows more about engineering new live cell from scratch (from simple molecules used for food) than all the human scientists and their technology put together. You could create an all star team of molecular & cell biologists, biochemists and all other leading scientists of your choice, and give the task of synthesizing a single new live cell from scratch (from simple molecules) and they wouldn't even know how to build one live organelle, a small organ of cell, let tens of thousands of such organelles organized into a live cell, to say nothing of synthesizing trillions of such cells into an live organism. Yet, the biochemical networks of your cells have achieved such feat of biochemistry, of synthesizing new live cells from scratch, thousands of times while you were reading this post.
About a year ago, while at his son's house for Thanksgiving, my older brother started having severe pain in his right hand. Then his ring finger turned very hot and red and became very inflamed, and then the redness and pain started moving up his hand and into his lower arm.
That's correct for acute problems with a single, simple direct cause that can be resolved fully via well established methods. That covers minority of diseases dealt with by the sickness industry, chiefly the trauma treatment via surgery and acute infections via antibiotics. Such treatment cure or eliminate the underlying cause of the problem.
Unfortunately, for almost everything else, the objective of the sickness industry is "disease management", a euphemism for masking the symptoms without addressing, much less eliminating, the real cause of the diseases (which is often not known).
That approach is like "managing" your credit card debts by throwing away the unopened warning letters from the bank and silencing the phone ringer to "manage" calls from debt collectors. It may help your comfort on a short run, but you will be a lot worse off when the process hits its natural limits.
The net outcome of the prevailing "disease management" approach, which I have seen unfold many times with family members and friends, are ever expanding series of drugs, each new drug "managing" the damaging side effects of the previous drugs (which are continued for "managing" the initial symptoms). It is a vicious circle optimized to keep you hooked to the sickness industry subscription model for the rest of your life.
We will agree to disagree. FRgards.
