there could be. as science advances and we learn more about the roots of various pathologies, more and more research will be done to find us a fix. the problem is that we very rarely understand the entire picture of a pathology. we find links to diseases, i.e. this gene, that virus, this diet, that gender. we try to cure the disease by altering that piece of the puzzle. sometimes it works. often with repercussions. sometimes i think we are like children playing with our parents stuff.
i heard something on npr, maybe a month ago, about how even though people taking meds for high cholesterol have better levels when on the meds, these numbers don't reflect better health, or a decreased risk of disease. it's just numbers. with side effects. wouldn't it be better to make lifestyle changes?
that being said, why is it so hard to make lifestyle changes?
