A new thought bloggers...
Why are there so many “new” diseases today? Or, are they not new, but just unspoken ones? For instance, migraines. It seems that in today's times, everyone and their brother has migraines! My brother gets migraines! What causes them? How do you get rid of them? Why did you never hear of migraines 15 years ago?
Maybe it's all the waves that are circulating around in the air. Cell phones, computers, radios...everything needs radio waves or what ever it is that makes them work. Is this what causes so many headaches? Children with ear infections is another item that peaks our curiosity. Years ago, when a woman found out she was pregnant, she waited 9 months and a baby was born. There was no ultrasound like there is today. Ultrasounds are sound waves. Do we have all these ear problems due to every newly pregnant mother requiring an ultra sound?
Some doctors and scientists think that the ultra sounds that are given to expecting moms could be the cause of many of the ear issues that we have today such as ear infections and ear tubes. Seem logical. Some also think that many of the vaccines that are given to children at very young ages could be the cause of the autism that some children have.
It seems that life was much easier back in the day when maybe we just didn't know. When things were just easier. Either you were sick or you were healthy. People died of unknown reasons, but when they died, they didn't know they were going to. They didn't spend their final days trying to figure out what to do and how to prolong their life. When a headache was just a headache, not a migraine. And when that headache didn't keep you from going to school or work because things had to get done. A time when if you stayed in bed all day, there was REALLY a legitimate reason, like you were on your death bed. It's debatable as to which would be easier to deal with.
Medicines were much different at well, and guess what...most of them were free. Leaves, barks, teas, mud, honey...all different kinds of medicines that took care of the illnesses of that day. Are they the same illnesses of today? And if so, why don't those remedies still work. Or do they but the pharmaceuticals companies create and advertise the medicines of this era so much so that people believe in them and forget about the past.
Who knows what the right answer is. It seems though that things continually get more and more confusing. People continue to push the envelope, creating new things daily. It's like the I phone. Just when you think you have the latest and greatest, someone creates a newer version. Sometimes it's scary to think of what the world will be like in another 50 years. Maybe everything we know today will be totally different. Maybe there won't be medicines any longer. Maybe if people get ill, they'll be shipped off to a different location where all sick people are kept. Maybe hospitals will be a thing of the past. Or maybe, since things from the past tend to resurface, we'll go back to the days of the past. It'll be interesting to see but we probably won't be around to experience it.(566)
