Abstract
We are blessed to live in a time in which modernized medicine has significantly increased our lifespans. Nowadays, we have not only vaccines to immunize us against the myriad bacteria and viruses that probably would have killed us mere centuries ago but also CT-guided radiation surgery against dangerously located cancers. Yet, despite all our medical advances, disease is still rampant throughout all our communities throughout the world. Multidrug-resistant TB runs rampant throughout South Africa and India, obesity and diabetes are progressively impacting not only adults but children in the Middle East and “Western” countries like the USA, and maternal-child transmission of HIV and HBV continue to compromise individuals’ health from the moment they are born into this world. Essentially, we continue to live in a paradoxical world; despite cutting-edge medical advances, the overall health of the world is still extremely compromised.
