Modern Diseases


1. AIDS  25 Million  deaths since 1981
(AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans, and similar viruses in other species.  Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to decelerate the virus’ progression, there is currently no known cure.  HIV,Aids  are transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

2. Influenza  36,000 Deaths per year
 is an infectious disease of birds and mammals, common symptoms of influenza infection are fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. Influenza is a much more severe disease and is caused by a different type of virus. Influenza is transmitted from infected mammals through the air by coughs or sneezes,and by saliva.

3.DiabetesResearchers have spent decades looking for genes that cause diabetes, but there is increasing evidence that diabetes is really caused by viral infections. In particular, type I diabetes was assumed to be genetic, but there is a fairly large amount of evidence that it is caused by viruses such as as Coxsackie B4 and other which may be linked to vaccines. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing throughout the world, which cannot be explained by genetics.
