Myths & Facts

  • Test1 : Can Asthma Be Cured?

    What is asthma and who should care? Asthma is a disease of the lungs. During an asthma attack, your airways become inflamed. As a result, they close and air cannot get to the lungs. What does asthma feel like? In regular life, meaning when you’re not having an asthma attack, you may notice a cough, but you might also feel normal. During an asthma attack, however, you will feel like you can’t breathe, with tightness in your chest, wheezing, and coughing. Who gets asthma? Asthma affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Asthma sometimes runs in families, but many times only one person in the family has asthma. It usually starts in childhood, but sometimes adults are also diagnosed with asthma. https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/asthma/is-there-a-cure

    http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160120-why-that-one-diet-trick-wont-work

  • Recent advances in medicine have been so great that physicians can now cure almost anything.

    Not really. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve made much progress in recent decades (HIV, HCV, and some malignancies come to mind), but compared to centuries past, we’re well behind schedule with regard to true medical breakthroughs. The bottom line is that most modern pharmaceutical drugs don’t cure a damn thing. That’s not an indictment (drug discovery is tough work), but it does form the basis of some sound advice for most Americans: eat well, exercise regularly, laugh frequently, sleep soundly, learn often, embrace faith, cherish the few, shun the rest, know yourself, love yourself, and be yourself. Nobody can do these things for you, and no pill will ever offer comparable benefits. Source - http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2014/09/hard-truths-dispelling-10-health-care-myths.html
