Disease and Treatment

 People do not have simple knowledge for avoiding diseases, and by very small misunderstandings, they suffer from grave diseases. Then they spend valuable money, and even then, they go on suffering. Very learned and high-class people make small mistakes. If they had even basic knowledge, they would not have suffered so much, and lots of money- time and suffering would have been saved. From very small mistakes, major diseases enter the body that produce more severe diseases.

Get general knowledge for avoiding and curing diseases. God has endowed everybody with a coordinating mechanism known as homeostasis. Birds and animals adhere to these mechanisms, ensuring their sustained health throughout their lifetimes, succumbing only at life's end. They adeptly maintain bodily functions. In countries like Japan and China, certain tribes have achieved lifespans exceeding 100 years.

Every younger child individually and all children should be encouraged to read again and again when time permits. This will encourage them to have the basic knowledge, behaviour, and habits to become healthy citizens, which will be a great advantage to the country. This basic knowledge encourages everyone to stay healthy. Health is everyone's concern.

Our body is like a factory with many departments. Each department is a separate entity, but they work in harmony to achieve the best outcome. All departments have very good connections and coordination. The manager and owner supervise to achieve harmony.

If people understand a few basic principles of health, they will have great benefits. Healthy life and healthy living. Health is wealth. To remain healthy, everyone has to follow very easy and very simple guidelines.

For healthy living, we have to follow simple rules, and that will give us a healthy life with the passion of a healthy mind and a healthy body.

There are many methods to treat diseases. Methods for keeping a healthy body must be learned.

 Everyone should have knowledge that is advantageous to the body and that can avoid ill effects and diseases in the body. This is the knowledge everyone is required to have.  Simple care can avoid many diseases and produce healthy living. Simple and small care of the body will go a long way to having good health. So, methods for maintaining a normal body need to be known and practised. All precautions and more research and knowledge are required.

Allopathy, Homeopathy, and Ayurveda are the primary systems of treatment practised today, although numerous other treatment modalities exist. When discussing a particular topic, it may be necessary to acknowledge these other systems, as their mention is relevant.

Help and citations are taken from books, literature, and international search engines.  I pray that God will make everyone's life healthy.

Integrating alternative medicines and offering straightforward guidance can sometimes yield miraculous results. Witnessing to achieve full recovery brings immense joy.

Drugs, surgeries, procedures, and vaccines are the main ways in which medical doctors and scientists treat diseases. Drug treatments include antibiotics, which are used to cure bacterial diseases, as well as anti-inflammatory medications and water pills.

Your doctor may order lab work or imaging scans to help determine what's causing your symptoms. Knowing what type of germ is causing your illness makes it easier for your doctor to choose the appropriate treatment. Certain types of bacteria are especially susceptible to particular classes of antibiotics. The doctor knows what type of bacteria you're infected with, treatment can be targeted more precisely. Antibiotics are usually reserved for bacterial infections because they do not affect illnesses caused by viruses. But sometimes, it's difficult to tell which type of germ is at work. For example, pneumonia can be caused by a bacterium, a virus, or a fungus. The overuse of antibiotics has resulted in several types of bacteria developing resistance to one or more varieties of antibiotics, making these bacteria much more difficult to treat.

Topical antifungal medications can be used to treat skin or nail infections caused by fungi. Some fungal infections, such as those affecting the lungs or the mucous membranes, can be treated with an oral antifungal. More severe internal organ fungal infections, especially in

Some diseases, including malaria, are caused by tiny parasites. While there are drugs to treat these diseases, some varieties of parasites have developed resistance to the drugs.

You'll probably first see your primary care doctor. Depending on the severity of your infection, as well as which of your organ systems is affected by the infection, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. For example, a dermatologist specializes in skin conditions and a pulmonologist treats lung disorders.

Preparing a list of questions for your doctor will help you make the most of your time together. For infectious diseases, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:

·       What's the most likely cause of my symptoms?

·       Are there other possible causes for my symptoms?

·       What kinds of tests do I need?

·       Is my condition likely temporary or long-lasting?

·       What treatment do you recommend?

·       I have other health conditions. How can I best manage these conditions together?

·       Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing?

·       Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend?

What to expect from your doctor

Your doctor is likely to ask you several questions, including:

·       When did your symptoms begin?

·       Do your symptoms come and go, or do you have symptoms all the time?

·       How severe are your symptoms?

·       Have you recently come into contact with anyone who's sick?

·       Have you been bitten or scratched by an animal or come into contact with animal faeces?

·       Do you have any insect bites?

·       Have you eaten undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables?

·       Have you been out of the country recently?

— Being cured of a disease means it's completely gone and isn't coming back. For many people, cures represent the ultimate treatment goal.

ANSWER

Before trying to cure a disease, the first question a scientist would ask is, "What's causing the disease?" We would normally start by figuring out what part of the body is most affected by the disease and then figure out what changes in the diseased or sick tissue.

. Once the cause of the change in the diseased cell or tissue has been identified, the search for a cure can begin. Sometimes, the cause is the lack of a protein or the fact that an altered version of the protein is produced. One way that scientists cure a disease, in this case, is to give back the good protein to the cells in the form of the DNA or gene for this protein. This so-called gene therapy is still pretty new, but scientists think the future of this method of curing a disease has some great potential.

Infectious disease may be an unavoidable fact of life. Still, there are many strategies available to help us protect ourselves from infection and treat disease once it has developed.

Vaccines and Medicines

Medicines have existed in human society probably as long as the sickness itself. However, with the advent of the modern pharmaceutical industry, biochemical approaches to preventing and treating disease have acquired a new level of prominence in the evolving relationship between microbes and their human hosts.

Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. They either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing, allowing the body's natural defences to eliminate the pathogens. Used properly, antibiotics can save lives. However, growing antibiotic resistance is curbing the effectiveness of these drugs. Taking an antibiotic as directed, even after symptoms disappear, is key to curing an infection and preventing the development of resistant bacteria.

Antibiotics don't work against viral infections such as colds or the flu.

Antiviral drugs are now available to treat several viruses, including influenza, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B. Like bacteria, viruses mutate over time and develop resistance to antiviral drugs. Modern medicine needs new kinds of antibiotics and antivirals to treat drug-resistant infections

·          Keep immunizations up to date

Wash your hands often. Washing with regular soap and rinsing with running water, followed by thorough drying, is considered the most important way to prevent disease transmission. Routine consumer use of

Use antibiotics only for infections caused by bacteria. Viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics.

·          Report to your doctor any rapidly worsening infection or any infection that does not get better after taking a course of antibiotics, if prescribed.

Stay alert to disease threats when travelling or visiting underdeveloped countries.

·          Acquire healthy habits such as eating well, getting enough sleep, exercising, and avoiding tobacco and illegal drug use.

Foodborne diseases are largely preventable—but the goal requires vigilance in every step from the farm to the table.

By identifying viruses, bacteria, and parasites in animals where they naturally live and monitoring those organisms as they move from animals into people, it may be possible to prevent deadly new infections of animal origin from entering and racing through human populations.

Microorganisms are our friends and foes. Some of them are useful for us, while some of them are harmful.

An antibiotic is a chemical substance that inhibits the growth of bacteria. It hinders the reproductive cycle of the bacteria inside the host’s body.

Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria that can convert sugars into lactic acid using fermentation.

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. It has killed or weakened the suspension of microorganisms, which generates the immune response.

What was directly responsible for the rapid rise of the world population in the twentieth century?

a)       Increased food production

b)       Better transport facilities

c)        Better education and job prospects

d)       Use of antibiotics and prophylactic vaccinations

It is rightly said that Health is Wealth. There are various factors which influence health. These factors lie both within the individual and also in the society in which they live. The internal factors are basically the genetic makeup of an individual, while external factors lie in the environment to which they are exposed.

Personal health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Community health comprises maintaining, improving, and protecting the health of the entire community. The various factors that help in maintaining community health are:

·       Maintaining proper hygienic and sanitary conditions of the environment.

·       Providing good socio-economic conditions.

·       Providing health care services.

·       Imparting health education and promoting public awareness.

·       Providing proper facilities for preventing diseases.

Basic Conditions for Good Health

'A sound mind in a sound body' is an old saying and expresses the importance of good health.

Too often, we confuse being healthy with being disease-free. However, it is not the same thing at all! There are many differences between the two. Below, we will look at the basic differences between the two.

Principles of Treatment

The immune system is a major factor that determines the number of microbes surviving in the body. There are two ways to treat an infectious disease, i.e.,

·       To reduce the effects of the disease

·       To kill the cause of the disease

In the first case, treatment reduces the symptoms due to inflammation. A doctor gives medicine to the patient to bring down the fever and reduce pain or loose motions. One must also rest in bed so that one can conserve energy, enabling one to have more energy to focus on healing.

How do the Medicines Work?

To cure the disease, the microbes have to be killed by the use of medicine. As you know, we can classify microbes into different categories. They are viruses, bacteria, fungi, or protozoa. Each of these groups of organisms will have some essential biochemical life processes that are peculiar to that group and are not shared with the other groups.

These processes may be pathways for the synthesis of new substances or respiration. For example, our cells may make new substances by a mechanism different from that used by bacteria. Therefore, a drug that can block the bacterial synthesis pathway without affecting our own is used to cure a bacterial disease. Antibiotic drugs work on the same principle. Similarly, some drugs, such as malarial parasites, kill protozoa without affecting our bodies.

Viruses have only a few biochemical mechanisms of their own. This is the reason why making antiviral medicines is more difficult than making antibacterial medicines. The viruses enter the host cells and use the host's machinery for their life processes. Therefore, there are relatively few virus drugs that check a number of viral diseases, including HIV infection.
