good health

Almost every one of us are born with a healthy body, yet suffers various illness thereafter. It costs very little for our lives to start, but costs greatly for medical care until we pass away. All medical studies, researches and operations are run as business, or perhaps by business. We need them, even though we suffer from illness as well as the bill to recover our bodies. Therefore, I believe that we have treated our bodies in a wrong way so that we must get sick throughout our time.

Is this the warning that we should not touch gene?

"Patient in Experimental Gene Therapy Study Dies, F.D.A. Says " may be a good case. Of course, for medical researchers, it will never be a stop sign, at least for now.

I believe that there were many experiments and we may never have full information about the results. Some may have the hope that gene therapy would solve all our health problems.

Although I am not involved with medical studies, yet I have started to read books about health and medication, Western and Chinese, long time ago. My reason is that I do not want my life relying on the hand of someone else without knowing how he/she treated me.

Due to the egoism of Western scientists, all knowledge whether it is Chinese, Indian etc. are taken as alternative, something inferior to theirs in comparison. Therefore, what such studies do is just to borrow materials only, not the concept.

I am not saying that any culture would be better than the others. No, each has its good and bad side. For the benefit of human in the future, it is a need to find the basics of human health. Unfortunately, all R&D are business motivated, even our universities are not exception.

Perhaps human race will come to an end, not by any external force or alien, but by our own mistake about health.
