Learning About Therapy

Abstract

Modern medicine has blessed us with a number of highly effective treatments. We can control, cure, prevent, or alleviate a wide variety of conditions and diseases. Infectious diseases that were once the major cause of mortality have been controlled or eradicated by vaccines and antibiotic drugs. We can treat myocardial blockages with surgery and replace worn out or broken body parts with human or mechanical ones. Specific and useful therapies have been developed for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, ulcers, and many neurological and psychological problems.
